Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Ensuring that security policies are uniformly applied and enforced across all environments
Consistent security policy enforcement is key in hybrid cloud. While identity management and encryption are important, ensuring the same policies apply across environments is the most critical to avoid gaps.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Implementing single sign-on (SSO) for all users
Why it's wrong here
SSO aids identity management but does not ensure consistent security policies.
- ✗
Using dedicated private network connections
Why it's wrong here
Secure connectivity is important but not as critical as policy consistency.
- ✗
Choosing the same cloud provider for all public cloud workloads
Why it's wrong here
Using one provider may simplify but doesn't guarantee consistent policies across on-prem and cloud.
- ✓
Ensuring that security policies are uniformly applied and enforced across all environments
Why this is correct
Consistent policy enforcement prevents security gaps between environments.
