Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) — Question 379

Many aspects of cloud computing bring enormous benefits over a traditional data center, but also introduce new challenges unique to cloud computing.
Which of the following aspects of cloud computing makes appropriate data classification of high importance?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Multitenancy refers to the shared use of resources by multiple customers in a cloud environment, making data classification vital to protect sensitive information. The other options—Interoperability, Portability, and Reversibility—are important considerations but do not directly impact the necessity for careful data classification in the same way that multitenancy does.
