Question 1120

Which of the following presents the GREATEST risk of data leakage in the cloud environment?

    Correct Answer: A

    Multi-tenancy within the same database presents the greatest risk of data leakage in the cloud environment. In a multi-tenant setup, multiple clients share the same database infrastructure. If proper isolation mechanisms are not implemented, it increases the risk of unauthorized access to data, wherein one tenant may inadvertently (or maliciously) gain access to another tenant's sensitive information. This potential for cross-tenant data visibility and leakage is a significant security concern in cloud environments.

ption A - Multi-tenancy within the Same Database: Multi-tenancy involves multiple clients (tenants) sharing the same infrastructure, including databases. If not properly implemented, this can pose a significant risk of data leakage. Without adequate isolation mechanisms, one tenant may have the potential to access or view another tenant's sensitive data, leading to data leakage.
