An organization must terminate their cloud vendor agreement immediately What is the most secure way to delete the encrypted data stored in the cloud?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: D

The most secure way to delete encrypted data stored in the cloud is to destroy all encryption keys associated with the data. Without the encryption keys, the data cannot be decrypted and is effectively rendered useless. This ensures that the data cannot be accessed by anyone, including the cloud vendor.

The correct answer is **D. Destroy all encryption keys associated with the data**. Destroying all encryption keys associated with the data is the most secure way to ensure that the encrypted data becomes irretrievable. Without the encryption keys, the data remains encrypted and inaccessible, effectively making it impossible to recover, even if the data itself still exists in the cloud.
