Question
A company wants to ensure production data is not exposed during a functional and load testing exercise, as it will be the source of the data. Which of the following techniques should the cloud administrator deploy to ensure testing requirements are met?
Options
- AData masking
- BData Deduplication
- CData Mirroring
- DData replication
Explanation
Data masking replaces sensitive production data with anonymized or fictitious values, allowing testing without exposing real data.
Common mistakes.
- B. Data deduplication removes redundant copies of data to save storage space and does not anonymize or protect sensitive data from exposure.
- C. Data mirroring creates an exact real-time replica of production data for redundancy or availability, which would still expose the sensitive data during testing.
- D. Data replication copies data to another location for availability or disaster recovery purposes but does not alter or protect the sensitive values within the data.
