Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) — Question 216

Apart from using encryption at the file system level, what technology is the most widely used to protect data stored in an object storage system?

Answer options

• A. TLS
• B. HTTPS
• C. VPN
• D. IRM

Correct answer: D

Explanation

IRM (Information Rights Management) is specifically designed to protect sensitive data in storage systems by controlling access and usage rights. While TLS, HTTPS, and VPN provide secure transmission methods, they do not inherently protect the data at rest in object storage like IRM does.
