Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) — Question 286

Which aspect of cloud computing makes data classification even more vital than in a traditional data center?

Answer options

• A. Interoperability
• B. Virtualization
• C. Multitenancy
• D. Portability

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Multitenancy is a key characteristic of cloud computing where multiple customers share the same infrastructure. This increases the need for strict data classification to ensure that sensitive information is properly protected and segregated. The other options, while relevant to cloud computing, do not directly impact the necessity for data classification in the same way that multitenancy does.
