350-701 Practice Question: Which THREE of the following are common…
Which THREE of the following are common challenges when securing multi-cloud environments? (Choose three.)
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the distinction between security challenges and operational/financial challenges, so candidates mistakenly pick options like 'reducing costs' or 'storage capacity' because they sound like common cloud problems, but they are not security-specific.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Meeting compliance requirements across jurisdictions
Multi-cloud environments span multiple jurisdictions with differing data protection laws (e.g., GDPR, CCPA, LGPD). Meeting compliance requirements becomes a challenge as each cloud provider may have different compliance certifications and data residency controls, requiring careful mapping of data flows and contractual agreements to avoid legal penalties.
