Exam CS0-002 topic 1 question 42 discussion

from some one who has 1.5 years expirince in SOAR , SOAR has nothing to do with this question , its API

API - Automate

An API is too broad of an answer. APIs are built for many different solutions. SOAR would be more of a COTS solution for specific tasks.

APIs allow for the automated administration, management, and monitoring of a cloud service

API is used for the purpose! but SOAR is required to trigger/automate request

Highly doubt that SOAR isnt capable of automating this somehow!

They put automate in there to throw you off. Read the question again - "Which of the following would be the BEST way to 'ACQUIRE' the data?" API is the answer.

The BEST way to acquire data for this use case would be through an API (Application Programming Interface). APIs allow for automated data retrieval in a structured manner, which would be suitable for feeding data to both the configuration management database and the governance, risk, and compliance tool. CSV export may be suitable for periodic manual exports, but it would not be the most efficient or reliable way to automate data acquisition. SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response) and machine learning are not directly related to data acquisition and may not be the best fit for this use case. ChatGPT

API is literally an interface. It's a vector to get things done, not what actually gets the thing done itself. It's SOAR.

Answer: C Cloud APIs supply access to most CSP services and components for provisioning and configuration. Many also supply access to data exchange for client or third-party application integration. Naturally, services that are accessed through APIs should be secured to prevent unauthorized access to data and configuration. Here are a few examples how cloud APIs might be used: - To provision resources used in a cloud solution including compute, storage, and networking services. - To provide third-party or integrated connectivity for data exchange or interaction with a SaaS software suite. - To configure CSP-specific application platform services such as message queuing or other back-end architecture services required for building highly scalable, feature-rich applications. It is a Saas, the solution is hosted in the cloud.

What is SOAR API? The SOAR platform is built on the REST API. It provides comprehensive access to platform capabilities: to read and write incident data, and to perform a wide range of administrative functions. The REST API is supported by documentation, client libraries and example code for Python, . NET and Java.

C : API is correct

"An analyst has been asked to AUTOMATE the data acquisition." SOAR = Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response

Anytime you see automation, just know it is SOAR.

In my organization sometimes we use API to feed the SIEM sometimes

C. API Simply lets say they need a vulnerability scanner such as Acunetix, they want to integrate their vulnerabilities into their Jira etc. as far as I saw from my prev. exp. this is by done API. If I didn't get the question wrong.
