Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) — Question 305

What type of masking strategy involves replacing data on a system while it passes between the data and application layers?

Answer options

• A. Dynamic
• B. Static
• C. Replication
• D. Duplication

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Dynamic, as it refers to real-time data masking that occurs while data is being accessed. Static masking, on the other hand, involves altering data at rest and does not apply during data transfer. Replication and Duplication are not masking strategies, but rather methods of copying data.
