CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-001) — Question 3

Which of the following should an administrator implement to help reduce confidentiality risk for data at rest that is located in a public cloud?

Answer options

• A. IPSec tunnel
• B. TLS
• C. SSL
• D. Encryption

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Implementing an IPSec tunnel helps to secure the data at rest by creating a secure connection between the cloud and the administrator's network. While TLS and SSL are protocols designed for securing data in transit, they do not specifically address data at rest. Encryption is important, but the question specifically asks for a method of reducing confidentiality risk in the context of public cloud storage.
