When operating in a cloud environment, which cloud deployment model provides security teams with the greatest access to forensic information?
Suggested Answer: D Vote an answer
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provides security teams with the greatest access to forensic data because customers retain control over operating systems, logs, storage, and network configurations.
In SaaS and FaaS models, the provider controls most of the infrastructure, limiting visibility. PaaS provides partial access but still restricts OS-level forensics.
IaaS allows collection of disk images, memory dumps, system logs, and network traffic, which are essential for incident response and forensic investigations.
Security teams prefer IaaS for high-control environments where deep visibility is required.
