CloudLink integration in PowerFlex provides encryption for data in transit. True. False.

ATrue

BFalse

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

False: CloudLink is primarily a Data at Rest Encryption (D@RE) and Key Management solution.

Detail: CloudLink integrates with PowerFlex to manage the keys for Self-Encrypting Drives (SEDs) or software-based encryption (SDRE). This protects data if a physical drive is stolen from the datacenter.

Data in Transit: Encryption of data 'in flight' (between SDC and SDS, or SDS and SDS) is handled by the PowerFlex native Secure Data Transfer (SDT) protocol (introduced in v4.0) or external network encryption (IPsec/VPN). While CloudLink might manage the keys for SDT in newer versions, the core definition of the CloudLink integration feature in PowerFlex exams historically refers to D@RE.

False, unless you're a secret agent trying to hide your data from the government. In that case, good luck!

True, but does it also encrypt my cat photos? Asking for a friend.

False, I'm pretty sure encryption is handled by the storage system, not the integration.

I recall something about encryption, but I can't remember if it was specifically for data in transit or at rest. This one's tricky!

I’m pretty confident that CloudLink does encrypt data in transit, but I could be mixing it up with another service.

I’m not entirely sure, but I feel like there was a practice question about encryption that suggested it might not cover all scenarios.

I'm a little unsure about this one. I know PowerFlex has security capabilities, but I can't recall the details off the top of my head. I'll have to reason through the options.

Okay, let's see. I know PowerFlex has security features, but I'm not totally clear on the specifics of encryption. I'll have to think this through carefully.
