CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 88

A company is concerned about the security of its data repository that contains customer PII. A systems administrator is asked to deploy a security control that will prevent the exfiltration of such data. Which of the following should the systems administrator implement?

Answer options

• A. DLP
• B. WAF
• C. FIM
• D. ADC

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is DLP (Data Loss Prevention), which is specifically designed to prevent the unauthorized transfer of sensitive data, such as PII. WAF (Web Application Firewall) protects web applications but does not focus on data exfiltration, FIM (File Integrity Monitoring) monitors files for changes and does not prevent data loss, and ADC (Application Delivery Controller) manages network traffic but is not aimed at securing data repositories.
