Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) — Question 337

Where is a DLP solution generally installed when utilized for monitoring data in use?

Answer options

• A. Application server
• B. Database server
• C. Network perimeter
• D. User's client

Correct answer: D

Explanation

A DLP solution is usually installed on the user's client to monitor data in use directly on the endpoint where the data is accessed and manipulated. The other options, such as application and database servers, focus on data at rest or in transit rather than actively used data, and the network perimeter is more concerned with data moving across networks rather than local endpoint usage.
