Which term represents security concerns arising from the shared infrastructure and service models where users access computing resources over a network?

• A. Cloud Computing Threats
• B. Cloud Computing
• C. Insider Attacks
• D. Authenticity

Answer: (B)

The main idea being tested is cloud computing as the computing model where resources are delivered over a network from a shared infrastructure using service models like IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS. Security concerns arise because multiple users share the same infrastructure and rely on a third-party provider for many controls, bringing risks such as data separation, access control, and dependency on the provider. Naming this broader model—cloud computing—best captures where those concerns originate.

Cloud Computing Threats would point to specific risks or incidents, insider attacks describe a type of threat from within, and authenticity relates to verifying identity, none of which perfectly match the concept of the environment that gives rise to these concerns.
