When employees use personal mobile devices to access a VPN, the greatest concern for an IS auditor is the potential for sensitive data to be stored in an unsecured manner. If data is stored in plain text, it could be easily accessed by unauthorized parties if the device is lost, stolen, or compromised. This risk is heightened when the devices are not managed by the organization's IT department, which would typically enforce security policies such as encryption.

I thought DLP was just for data at rest, interesting!

DLP protects data at rest, in transit, and in use.

I feel like option C is more about classification rather than protection states. I think A is definitely the best answer here.

I'm a bit confused about the different levels mentioned in option B. I don't recall DLP being specifically tied to operating systems or databases.

I remember a similar question where we discussed the states of data, and I believe option A is the right choice.

I think DLP solutions protect data at rest, in transit, and in use, but I'm not completely sure if that's the exact wording we practiced.

I'm a bit confused by the wording of the options. I'll need to re-read them a few times to make sure I understand what each one is asking.

I've got a good feeling about A. Data loss can happen at any stage, so a strong DLP solution should cover all the bases.
EL

Okay, let's see. DLP solutions are designed to protect data in different states, so I'll need to consider all the options here.

I vaguely recall something about workarounds being a temporary fix. I don't think A is a good long-term solution.

Wait, is there a 'None of the above' option? Because that's what I'm feeling right about now. This is trickier than I thought!

C) Public, restricted, and confidential? That's more about data classification, not DLP capabilities. I'm going with A) for sure.
MA
