    Issues with CCSK training module 2 Unit 3. -- it skips to the quiz -  

    The training module does NOT present the content for Unit 3.   I would like to read it.    Addtionally, I have a problem with one of the Quiz questions: In which service model does the cloud consumer have the least amount of control over security.    I chose IaaS because it would be a Provider responsibility. but it was marked Incorrect.   In looking though the thread, I am not alone.

    Interesting.  Bummer about the content being missing. Hope that will be a simple fix.

    I haven't looked at the courseware, and my gut would be to choose  SaaS as the CSP is providing OSI layers 1-7, while an IaaS you're loading an OS on top of their "hardware" or other infrastructure, and yes there are services you have less control over, but you're building the "infrastructure" by selecting the combination of products  to deliver, and/or secure your service. (in other words more choices)

    I have gotten fond of practice tests which explain why the answer is wrong or right. (generally there is one explanation that covers all the options) as it reinforces the content in the courseware, and sometimes reveals a subtlety not otherwise obvious.

    Thanks for your response, Lee.    It is great to know I am not crying out into the wilderness.  :- )   And  I have  been wondering where i could find some good CCSK practice tests.   I would love to hear your recommendations.    I am a big believer in PRACTICE.  ;- )

    I chose IaaS because the Cloud Consumer would  have no control (you take what the CSP offers) and didn't take SaaS since the consumer is responsible for so many things at that level - like Authentication and Authorization, etc.    One option I did not try was Security as a Service, as I thought it was a Red Herring.    But as soon as I make through all the chapters I'll go back and Security as a Service a shot.   Is it possible the question has a bogus answer?   And, maybe Module 2, Unit 3 will be fixed.

    Thanks again,
