What would be the advantage of cloud computing in regards to security?
  1. More servers to resist attacks
  2. An invisible place to hide from attackers
  3. Files are accessible from anywhere.
  4. Data is centralized and thus easier to protect and manage
Explanation
Answer: D - The centralized data that is used in cloud computing is inherently easier to protect than dispersed data.

Key Takeaway: Centralized data and application services are always easier to secure than any sort of dispersed data and application service model. Keep in mind, though, that although security is a benefit in cloud computing, there are many instances when the cloud server will not be in the same geographical region or, more importantly, country. This leads to the increased misuse of the stored information that is secured. So, while it is easier to secure, cloud computing cannot always be trusted.
