Developing Applications and Automating Workflows Using Cisco Platforms (DEVASC) — Question 383

How does edge computing analyze sensitive data in the context of privacy control?

Answer options

• A. locally instead of sending the data to the cloud for analysis
• B. locally or on the cloud depending on the configuration
• C. all at once by sending the data to the cloud
• D. locally on each node, and then sends the data to the cloud

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, A, is accurate because edge computing performs data analysis locally, minimizing the transfer of sensitive information to the cloud, thus enhancing privacy. Option B is incorrect as it suggests that processing can occur in the cloud, which could compromise privacy. Option C is wrong because it implies all data is sent to the cloud, which contradicts the principles of edge computing. Option D is also incorrect since it indicates that data is sent to the cloud after local processing, which may not prioritize privacy as effectively as option A.
