CompTIA SecurityX (CAS-005) — Question 61
A pharmaceutical company uses a cloud provider to host thousands of independent resources in object storage. The company needs a practical and effective means of discovering data, monitoring changes, and identifying suspicious activity. Which of the following would best meet these requirements?
Answer options
- A. A machine-learning-based data security service
- B. A file integrity monitoring service
- C. A cloud configuration assessment and compliance service
- D. An automated data classification system
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct choice is A, as a machine-learning-based data security service is designed to automatically discover data, monitor changes, and identify anomalies, which aligns with the company's needs. Options B and D focus on specific aspects of data integrity and classification but do not provide a comprehensive solution for monitoring suspicious activities. Option C relates to compliance but does not directly address the monitoring and discovery of data.
