Which solution monitors and prevents unauthorized transfer of sensitive data in and out of the cloud environment?
The correct answer is A. Data Loss Prevention (DLP). DLP systems scan network traffic, endpoints, and storage to detect and block sensitive data leaks (like PII or credit cards). SIEM is for log analysis; NGFW/firewalls block attacks, not specific data; VPN encrypts traffic.
