Exam SY0-701 topic 1 question 39 discussion

Client: In the shared responsibility model, the client, or cloud customer, is responsible for securing their data and applications running on the cloud infrastructure. This includes configuring security settings, implementing access controls, and managing user permissions for their resources. However, the specific responsibility for securing the company's database in an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) model depends on the division of responsibilities outlined in the model. Given the options provided and the context of the shared responsibility model for a cloud environment, the most appropriate role responsible for securing the company's database in an IaaS model would be Client. The client is typically responsible for securing their data and applications, including databases, within the cloud infrastructure. However, the DBA would also play a significant role in implementing database security measures within the IaaS environment, working in collaboration with the client's security team.

The client is the one who is utilizing the data, & would be responsible in the handling, & security of database within the infrastructure provided by the Cloud Provider, or Third-Party Vendor.

Whilst D the Database admin would seem to be the obvious choice the question asks secure not administer, getting the DBA alone to secure is inadequate, you will also need others to completely secure meaning the best answer is A client

In the IaaS model, the client is responsible for securing everything above the infrastructure layer provided by the cloud provider. This includes the operating system, applications, and data, which encompasses the security of databases.

Exactly D. DBA ,which means Database administrator.

A. Client

while a database sounds like a physical piece of equipment, it typically is not. Therefore in the IAAS model configuring the security of the database should be settings, firewall, and othertechnologies that cloud providers typically wont mess with.
