CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 83

A DevOps administrator is building a new application slack in a private cloud. This application will store sensitive information and be accessible from the internet. Which of the following would be MOST useful in maintaining confidentiality?

Answer options

• A. NAC
• B. IDS
• C. DLP
• D. EDR

Correct answer: C

Explanation

DLP (Data Loss Prevention) is specifically designed to protect sensitive information from unauthorized access and leaks, making it the best choice for maintaining confidentiality in this scenario. NAC (Network Access Control), IDS (Intrusion Detection System), and EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) focus more on network security and threat detection rather than directly ensuring the confidentiality of sensitive data.
