Discuss CSA CCSK Exam Topic 1 Question 102

What is a primary benefit of consolidating traffic through a central bastion/transit network in a hybrid cloud environment?

AIt minimizes hybrid cloud sprawl and consolidates security.

BIt reduces the need for physical network hardware.

CIt increases network redundancy and fault tolerance.

DIt decreases the latency of data transfers across the cloud network.

Suggested Answer: A

Acentralized bastion or transit networkimproves hybrid cloud security by:

Reducing cloud sprawlthrough a unified security control point.

Centralizing firewall, logging, and security monitoringfor betterthreat detection and response.

Enforcing consistent security policiesacross different cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, on-premises data centers).

Minimizing unauthorized lateral movementwithin hybrid cloud environments.

This concept is extensively covered in:

Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) - Network Security and Monitoring.

D is tempting, but latency isn't the main issue here.

But C is important! Redundancy is key for reliability.

Earleen 28 days ago

B sounds good too. Less hardware means lower costs.

I’m not confident, but I think latency might not be the main focus in this question. It feels more about management and security.

Kenny 3 months ago

I feel like increasing redundancy is important too, but I’m leaning towards A since it covers security as well.

Hillary 4 months ago

I remember a practice question that mentioned reducing hardware needs, but I’m not sure if that’s the primary benefit here.

Theron 5 months ago

I think the main benefit is about security, so maybe A? It seems like consolidating would help manage that better.
