CompTIA Security+ Question J-50

The system administrator notices that their application is no longer able to keep up with the large amounts of traffic their server is receiving daily. Several packets are dropped and sometimes the server is taken offline. Which of the following would be a possible solution to look into to ensure their application remains secure and available?

A. Cloud computing
B. Full disk encryption
C. Data Loss Prevention
D. HSM

Answer: A

Explanation:
Cloud computing means hosting services and data on the Internet instead of hosting it locally. There is thus no issue when the company’s server is taken offline.
