CCSP · Question #274
With data in transit, which of the following will be the MOST major concern in order for a DLP solution to properly work? Response:
The correct answer is B. Encryption. For a Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solution to effectively monitor and prevent sensitive data from exfiltrating while in transit, encryption is the most major concern as it can prevent the DLP from inspecting the data's content.

Why each option
For a Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solution to effectively monitor and prevent sensitive data from exfiltrating while in transit, encryption is the most major concern as it can prevent the DLP from inspecting the data's content.
Scalability is a general concern for any enterprise solution to handle increasing load, but it's not the primary technical obstacle preventing a DLP solution from *properly working* with encrypted data.
Encryption poses the most significant challenge for a Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solution monitoring data in transit, because encrypted data cannot be inspected by the DLP system to identify sensitive information unless the DLP solution is integrated with decryption capabilities or can inspect traffic before encryption occurs. If data is encrypted end-to-end, DLP cannot function effectively.
Redundancy ensures high availability of the DLP solution itself, but it does not directly address the challenge of inspecting sensitive information within encrypted data in transit.
Integrity ensures that data has not been altered during transit, which is a data security concern, but it does not prevent a DLP solution from inspecting the content of unencrypted data or make it harder to inspect encrypted data.
