Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK) — Question 196

Which of the following is NOT normally a method for detecting and preventing data migration into the cloud?

Answer options

• A. Intrusion Prevention System
• B. URL filters
• C. Data Loss Prevention
• D. Cloud Access and Security Brokers (CASB)
• E. Database Activity Monitoring

Correct answer: A

Explanation

An Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) primarily focuses on network security and threat prevention, making it less relevant for monitoring data migration to the cloud. In contrast, URL filters, Data Loss Prevention tools, Cloud Access and Security Brokers, and Database Activity Monitoring are all specifically designed to manage and control data flows to cloud environments.
