CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 207

Which of the following best explains the role of confidentiality with regard to data at rest?

Answer options

• A. Data can be accessed by anyone on the administrative network.
• B. Data can be accessed remotely with proper training.
• C. Data can be accessed after privileged access is granted.
• D. Data can be accessed after verifying the hash.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, C, highlights that only individuals with the necessary privileges should be able to access sensitive data, thus maintaining its confidentiality. Option A is incorrect as it implies unrestricted access, which violates confidentiality principles. Option B suggests that training alone allows access, which is not sufficient for ensuring data confidentiality. Option D refers to hash verification, which is not related to the concept of accessing data in terms of confidentiality.
