Question 30
At the Tarnbridge cloud software developer, a procurement checklist treats database disk encryption as proof that browser traffic is also protected. Which underlying issue most directly explains this situation?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The evidence indicates that encryption at rest and encryption in transit protect different exposures and do not automatically replace one another. The appropriate response is to use transport encryption for data moving over the network and storage encryption for data kept on media and demonstrate that a client establishes approved TLS while the storage configuration separately reports at-rest encryption. This result addresses the stated challenge at the Tarnbridge cloud software developer.
Incorrect Answers
A cryptographic hash is intended to support comparison and integrity checks rather than restore the original message. That is not the mechanism that accounts for the stated failure at the Tarnbridge cloud software developer.
The case does not describe the failure mode involving identity provider sign-in service. Its core issue is that encryption at rest and encryption in transit protect different exposures and do not automatically replace one another. For the Tarnbridge cloud software developer, the direct corrective action is to use transport encryption for data moving over the network and storage encryption for data kept on media.
Although federation allows separate identity systems to cooperate without requiring every application to store every external user's credentials, the presented symptoms do not support that as the primary cause; they indicate that encryption at rest and encryption in transit protect different exposures and do not automatically replace one another. For the Tarnbridge cloud software developer, the direct corrective action is to use transport encryption for data moving over the network and storage encryption for data kept on media.
