Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) — Question 411

In a cloud environment, encryption should be used for all the following, except:

Answer options

• A. Secure sessions/VPN
• B. Long-term storage of data
• C. Near-term storage of virtualized images
• D. Profile formatting

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as profile formatting does not typically involve the same level of sensitive data that requires encryption compared to secure sessions, long-term data storage, and virtualized images. The other options deal with data transmission or storage that involve sensitive information, making encryption essential.
