An organization keeps its intellectual property in a database. Protection of the data is assigned to one system administrator who marks the data, and monitors for this intellectual property leaving…

Threat-vector analysis involves identifying and evaluating the paths attackers can use to reach assets, which is not what is described in this scenario.

A protected enclave describes isolating a sensitive segment of the network behind strong perimeter controls, not classifying data and tracking it as it moves.

Information-centric security places the data asset at the center of the protection strategy, meaning controls travel with the data rather than relying solely on boundary defenses. The scenario explicitly describes marking the intellectual property (data classification) and monitoring for it leaving the network (data loss prevention), both hallmarks of information-centric defense. A single administrator owning both the labeling and the monitoring reinforces that the data itself is the protected object.

Uniform protection means applying the same security controls to all data regardless of sensitivity, which is the opposite of singling out specific intellectual property for special monitoring.
