CISA · Question #179
Which of the following features would BEST address risk associated with data at rest when evaluating a data loss prevention (DLP) solution?
The correct answer is D. Storage-scanning technology. Data at rest resides in storage systems - file servers, databases, backup media, and endpoints. Storage-scanning technology (D) actively discovers and classifies sensitive data persisting in these locations, which is the core DLP capability needed to address data-at-rest risk. Fi

Explanation
Data at rest resides in storage systems - file servers, databases, backup media, and endpoints. Storage-scanning technology (D) actively discovers and classifies sensitive data persisting in these locations, which is the core DLP capability needed to address data-at-rest risk. File movement detection (B) addresses data in motion, not data sitting idle in storage. Enforcement of access policies (C) controls who can reach stored data but does not identify what sensitive data exists or where it is located. Printing scan files (A) relates to output channels (data in use/motion), not data at rest.
