NSE4_FGT-7.0 · Question #94

What information is flushed when the chunk-size value is changed in the config dlp settings?

The correct answer is A. The database for DLP document fingerprinting. Changing the chunk-size value in DLP settings flushes the DLP document fingerprinting database because existing fingerprints become invalid with the new chunking methodology.

Why each option

Changing the `chunk-size` value in DLP settings flushes the DLP document fingerprinting database because existing fingerprints become invalid with the new chunking methodology.

AThe database for DLP document fingerprintingCorrect

DLP document fingerprinting works by breaking content into fixed-size 'chunks' and hashing them to create a unique identifier. If the `chunk-size` is modified, the method of breaking down documents changes, rendering all previously generated fingerprints incompatible and requiring the database to be flushed so new fingerprints can be created.

BThe supported file types in the DLP filters

The `chunk-size` setting defines how content is analyzed for fingerprinting, not which file types are supported by the DLP filters.

CThe archived files and messages

Archived files and messages are historical records of DLP events; changing the `chunk-size` does not affect already stored content or their archiving status.

DThe file name patterns in the DLP filters

File name patterns are used for identifying files based on their names, which is a separate mechanism from the internal content analysis and chunking used for document fingerprinting.
