Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) — Question 393

What masking strategy involves the replacing of sensitive data at the time it is accessed and used as it flows between the data and application layers of a service?

Answer options

• A. Active
• B. Static
• C. Dynamic
• D. Transactional

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Dynamic, as it masks data in real-time while being accessed, ensuring sensitive information is protected during its use. Options A, B, and D do not provide the same level of immediate masking during data access, with Static masking applying changes before data is accessed, and Active and Transactional not specifically addressing the flow between layers.
