Explanation

Cloud computing offers the least protection against USB data theft. DLP (Data Loss Prevention) solutions can actively block or monitor USB ports and prevent unauthorized data transfers. Database encryption protects data at rest so that even if copied to a USB drive, the data remains unreadable. TPM (Trusted Platform Module) can enforce hardware-level security controls. Cloud computing, however, is a delivery model for IT services and has no inherent mechanism to detect, block, or mitigate physical USB-based data exfiltration from a local machine.
