Correct answers: A, C
Explanation
To support hybrid work, the company needs to ensure secure handling of sensitive data and accessible collaboration tools for remote employees. A private or hybrid cloud is ideal for securing financial data. SaaS provides ready-to-use collaboration tools like email, file sharing, and video conferencing, making it an optimal choice for the hybrid work environment.
- A. Correct.
Private cloud provides enhanced security and control for sensitive data, while SaaS (like email and video conferencing tools) is ideal for collaboration in hybrid/remote work environments.
- B. Incorrect.
Public cloud lacks the enhanced security needed for sensitive financial data, and PaaS is not typically used for end-user collaboration tools.
- C. Correct.
Hybrid cloud combines the security of private cloud for sensitive data with the flexibility of public cloud services, making it a good fit for hybrid work. SaaS is ideal for collaboration tools.
- D. Incorrect.
While private cloud is suitable for financial data, IaaS does not provide pre-built collaboration tools, requiring more management and development effort.
- E. Incorrect.
Public cloud is not secure enough for sensitive financial data, although SaaS is suitable for collaboration tools.
