AI0-001 AI Infrastructure and Technologies Practice Question
An organisation is deploying a fine-tuned LLM for internal use. They need to ensure the API endpoint is secure and cost-effective. Which TWO measures should they implement? (Choose 2)
⚠ Common exam trap
The CompTIA AI+ exam tests the distinction between security measures (authentication, rate limiting) and non-security features (content filtering, protocol choice), leading candidates to mistakenly select content filtering or gRPC as security controls.
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
✓
Implement API key authentication
API key authentication (Option A) is a fundamental security measure that ensures only authorized clients can access the LLM endpoint. It provides a simple, lightweight mechanism to validate requests without the overhead of full OAuth, making it both secure and cost-effective for internal deployments.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Implement API key authentication
Why this is correct
API keys restrict access to authorised clients.
- ✗
Enable content filtering
Why it's wrong here
Content filtering moderates outputs but does not secure access or control costs.
- ✗
Disable logging to reduce storage costs
Why it's wrong here
Disabling logging may save storage but compromises security auditing and debugging.
- ✓
Apply rate limiting per user
Why this is correct
Rate limiting prevents excessive usage, controlling costs and ensuring fair access.
- ✗
Use gRPC instead of REST
Why it's wrong here
gRPC is a protocol choice that does not inherently improve security or cost control.
