CompTIA SecurityX (CAS-005) — Question 74

A company is concerned about the security of customer data. The IT department has configured all web applications with appropriate access controls to restrict to only authorized users. Which of the following solutions addresses this concern?

Answer options

• A. SIEM
• B. Vulnerability scanner
• C. DLP
• D. Threat intelligence platform

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions are specifically designed to protect sensitive information from unauthorized access and exfiltration, making it the most suitable choice for addressing concerns about customer data security. SIEM, vulnerability scanners, and threat intelligence platforms serve different purposes, such as monitoring, identifying vulnerabilities, and gathering threat data, respectively, but do not directly prevent data loss.
