Question 39
UnclassifiedWhich of the following types of risk is associated specifically with the use of multi-cloud environments in an organization?
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Multi-cloud environments spread workloads and data across multiple cloud providers, which can make centralized oversight harder. That creates a "reduced visibility and control" risk because security, compliance, and management must be coordinated across different platforms and tools.
Why each option is right or wrong
A. Risk of supply chain visibility and validation
B. Risk of reduced visibility and control
Multi-cloud deployments place workloads, identities, logs, and security controls across separate providers, so there is no single native control plane to monitor all assets end-to-end. In practice, that fragmentation increases the chance of blind spots in governance, incident response, and policy enforcement, which is why the relevant risk is diminished visibility and control rather than a provider-specific outage or cost issue.
C. Risk of service reliability and uptime
D. Risk of unauthorized access to customer and business data
