CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-004) — Question 74
A company recently experienced a ransomware attack. The recovery process was slow because the on-site backups were compromised and off-site backups were required. Which of the following features would enable a faster recovery if a ransomware attack would happen again?
Answer options
- A. Integrity
- B. Encryption
- C. Immutability
- D. Replication
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Immutability ensures that the backups cannot be altered or deleted, protecting them from being compromised during a ransomware attack, thus allowing for a quicker recovery. Integrity and encryption are important for data protection, but they do not specifically address the recovery speed in the face of an attack. Replication provides redundancy but does not guarantee that the backups remain unaltered.
