A city clerk assumes a public cloud is automatically less secure than paper files in a locked basement. Which statement best reflects a cloud security-and-governance benefit?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
The locked basement feels safer because you can see the door — but cloud providers pour huge investment into security and governance tooling. The benefit is those capabilities, not a magic wand that erases every risk. Customers still share responsibility; cloud is not automatically weaker than paper in a vault.
Full Explanation
AZ-900 treats security and governance as cloud benefit themes: providers offer identity, policy, compliance, and related capabilities that many municipalities could not build alone. That does not mean risk disappears or that customers have zero duties under shared responsibility. On-premises locations are not the only path to compliance, and security benefits are not limited to a single service type.
