Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) — Question 148

Which technology can be useful during the "share" phase of the cloud data lifecycle to continue to protect data as it leaves the original system and security controls?

Answer options

• A. IPS
• B. WAF
• C. DLP
• D. IDS

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, DLP (Data Loss Prevention), which is specifically designed to protect sensitive data during transfer and prevent unauthorized sharing. IPS (A), WAF (B), and IDS (D) focus on network security and threat detection but do not provide the same level of data protection during sharing as DLP does.
