   A financial services firm is evaluating a cloud object storage provider that uses data dispersion. The security team wants to understand how this model protects data at rest compared to traditional encryption. Which statement accurately describes the security benefit of data dispersion?

   • AData is replicated in full to multiple regions, and each replica is encrypted with a unique key to prevent cross-region access.
   • BData is fragmented and each fragment is encrypted with a different key, so a breach of one fragment reveals only a small piece of ciphertext.
   • CData is compressed and then encrypted, with the encryption keys stored in a separate hardware security module (HSM) at each storage location.
   • DData is split into fragments that are stored across multiple independent locations, so obtaining a single fragment does not reveal the original data.

   Which benefit does data dispersion provide beyond simple replication?

   • ASimplified data access by keeping all data in one location
   • BEnhanced security by ensuring no single location contains the complete dataset
   • CElimination of the need for backup and recovery processes
   • DReduced need for encryption because fragments are unreadable

   A company uses a cloud storage service for backups. The backups are transferred from an on-premises backup server to the cloud daily. The security team notices that the egress traffic from the cloud storage service is unusually high, but the backup server is not downloading data. What is the most likely cause of the unexpected egress?

   • AThe backup server is uploading more data than expected, which is counted as egress from the on-premises perspective.
   • BThe cloud provider is performing internal data dispersion, which generates egress traffic.
   • CThe backup server is downloading the backups to verify integrity, but the logs are not capturing this activity.
   • DA malicious actor has gained access to the storage account and is exfiltrating data.
