Module 4

All cloud data is eventually stored on a physical device, like a hard drive

• true

• false

Which of the following cloud data storage types can be described as "a database for files":

• Object storage

• Database storage

• Volume storage

• Platform storage

Why do we use data dispersion in cloud computing?

• To improve resiliency by eliminating the need for physical drivers

• To improve security by obviating the need for encryption

• To improve resiliency in case of individual drive failure

• To improve security by reducing the chances a complete file can be stolen

Which security tool can help detect sensitive data migrating to the cloud?

• Data security proxies(DSP)

• Firewalls

• Data Loss Prevention(DLP)

• IPS

Which of the available CASB modes is most cloud-native but often not supported by smaller, especially SaaS, providers:

• API

• Inline(cloud)

• Inline(local)

• Cloud-integrated

Which is the preferred model of protecting data migrating to the cloud:

• Encryption proxies, because they are the most efficient

• Encrypting network connections, since you can't trust file encryption

• Encrypting files, since you can't trust network encryption

• All are equally effective

How does cloud complicate access controls as compared to traditional data storage?

• There is no difference; they are not more complicated

• Cloud storage may offer more options, such as sharing privileges or access to the data's metadata

• Cloud access controls are less reliable

• All providers must support the same access controls, which makes building the cloud more complex

In a Cloud Computing Environment, what is always your most significant security control?

• Encryption controls

• Access controls

• Provider-specific controls

• Management controls

Select the 3 components of an encryption system.

• Protocol

• Encryption engine

• Key

• Data

In "externally managed” encryption, which is the key component that should be kept externally to improve security:

• Key management

• Data

• Encryption Engine

• Application code
