It is always cost-effective
What does the term 'resilience' refer to in Cloud security?
User satisfaction levels
Speed of data processing
Ability to recover quickly from failures
Cost-effectiveness of services
Which of the following is a feature of a Private Cloud?
Increased capacity for rapid scaling
Public access for all users

Which of the following best describes the key security needs of cloud software as specified by the US Department of Defense’s Cyber Security & Information Analysis Center (CSIAC)?
Dependability ensures stable operation, trustworthiness prevents vulnerabilities, and resilience enables quick recovery.
Dependability focuses on recovery, trustworthiness ensures performance, and resilience prevents cyber threats.
Trustworthiness and resilience are the same, as both deal with preventing malicious attacks.
Dependability, trustworthiness, and resilience only apply to on-premise systems, not cloud software.
