Yep, it's B here.
Option B If someone leaks the SAN data, at-rest encryption is what really keeps it safe. Not 100 percent sure but all signs point to B for this kind of compromise.
I don’t think D fits here. B is the best choice since encrypting data at rest specifically protects info if SAN drives or backups get leaked, not just network snooping. D is tempting but more about data moving in transit. Sometimes folks mix up both.
B . Only data-at-rest encryption protects against someone stealing SAN disks or snapshots. D is more about network eavesdropping, not leaks from storage itself. Pretty sure it's B but open to other thoughts.
If the data is compromised after being leaked (not while in transit), B.
Pretty common in practice exams, official Server+ guide covers this. B
Not A, it’s really B here. The question focuses on leaked data from the SAN, which means you need encryption at rest, not just when the data is leaving or in transit. Easy to mix up with the transport options.
B tbh, that's what protects against compromised SAN storage, not just network sniffing like D. Tricky wording.
Torn between B and D honestly, but B fits better since the question is about leaked data sitting on the SAN.
A is wrong, B. Encrypting data at rest on the SAN means if someone grabs the storage itself, they still can't read anything without the keys. Not 100 percent but that's how I'd approach it for this scenario.
Be respectful. No spam.
