Understanding Cisco Cybersecurity Operations Fundamentals (CBROPS) — Question 173

Which type of verification consists of using tools to compute the message digest of the original and copied data, then comparing the similarity of the digests?

Answer options

• A. evidence collection order
• B. volatile data collection
• C. data integrity
• D. data preservation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is data integrity, as it specifically refers to the process of ensuring that data remains unchanged and accurate through the use of message digests. The other options do not focus on comparing data digests; evidence collection order pertains to the sequence of gathering evidence, volatile data collection involves capturing temporary data, and data preservation relates to maintaining data without alteration.
