CompTIA SY0-701 Exam - Topic 2 Question 18 Discussion

Actual exam question for CompTIA's SY0-701 exam

Question #: 18
Topic #: 2

A network administrator is working on a project to deploy a load balancer in the company's cloud environment. Which of the following fundamental security requirements does this project fulfill?

APrivacy

BIntegrity

CConfidentiality

DAvailability

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

Deploying a load balancer in the company's cloud environment primarily fulfills the fundamental security requirement of availability. A load balancer distributes incoming network traffic across multiple servers, ensuring that no single server becomes overwhelmed and that the service remains available even if some servers fail.

Availability: Ensures that services and resources are accessible when needed, which is directly supported by load balancing.

Privacy: Protects personal and sensitive information from unauthorized access but is not directly related to load balancing.

Integrity: Ensures that data is accurate and has not been tampered with, but load balancing is not primarily focused on data integrity.

Confidentiality: Ensures that information is accessible only to authorized individuals, which is not the primary concern of load balancing.

I’m not so sure about that, isn’t it more about performance?

Wait, does a load balancer really affect privacy?

I practiced a similar question last week, and I think it was about how load balancers improve system performance, which ties back to availability too.

I feel like confidentiality might be more about data encryption rather than load balancing. So, I'm leaning towards availability as the main focus here.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about load balancers also playing a role in integrity. Maybe they help ensure data isn't altered during transmission?

I think the load balancer mainly helps with availability, right? It distributes traffic to ensure services are up and running.

I think the answer is Availability. A load balancer is designed to ensure that the system can handle high traffic and remain accessible, which is a key aspect of availability. It's a pretty straightforward answer if you understand the purpose of a load balancer.

I'm a bit confused on this one. Is it Confidentiality? Since the load balancer is in the cloud, it might be related to protecting the data. Or is it Integrity, to ensure the data is not tampered with? I'm not entirely sure.

Hmm, I'm not entirely sure about this one. I know a load balancer is used to distribute traffic, but I'm not sure which security requirement that specifically fulfills. I'll have to think about this a bit more.

Okay, let's see. A load balancer is used to improve the performance and reliability of a system, so I'm guessing the answer is Availability. That makes the most sense to me.

I'm a bit confused by the different storage devices mentioned. Is there a specific way the Archiver needs to be set up to work with the Reporting Engine? I'll have to double-check the course notes on this.

D) Availability is the way to go. Load balancers are like the bouncers of the cloud - they make sure only the worthy (servers) get in and keep the party going!

Wait, is this a trick question? I'm gonna go with A) Privacy. The load balancer should keep my browsing history, ahem, I mean, the company's data, private, right?
