Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) — Question 313

Which of the following security tools will ensure authorized data is sent to the application when implementing a cloud-based application?

Answer options

• A. Host-based intrusion prevention system (HIPS)
• B. Access control list (ACL)
• C. Data loss prevention (DLP)
• D. File integrity monitoring (FIM)

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Data Loss Prevention (DLP) tools are specifically designed to monitor and control data transfers, ensuring that only authorized information is sent to applications. Host-based intrusion prevention systems (HIPS), Access Control Lists (ACL), and File Integrity Monitoring (FIM) serve different purposes and do not primarily focus on controlling data transmission to applications.
