A technician wants to deploy a solution that will detect and prevent sensitive information from being saved on external storage. Which of the following should the technician implement?

Question

Options

• AIPS
• BFTPS
• CTPM
• DDLP

• A
  14% (4)
• B
  28% (8)
• C
  52% (15)
• D
  7% (2)

Explanation

Note: The stated correct answer of C (TPM) appears to be incorrect for this scenario. The technology that specifically detects and prevents sensitive information from being transferred to external storage is DLP (Data Loss Prevention) - option D. DLP solutions monitor data in use, in motion, and at rest, and can enforce policies that block sensitive files from being copied to USB drives or other external storage. TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is a hardware security chip used for key storage and platform integrity verification (e.g., supporting BitLocker), but it does not actively detect or block data transfers to external storage. IPS (A) monitors network traffic, and FTPS (B) is a secure file transfer protocol. If this question appears on an exam with C as the answer key, verify the source - DLP is the industry-standard answer for this use case.
