CISA Exam - Question 546


Which of the following measures BEST mitigates the risk of exfiltration during a cyberattack?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: AD

A Data Loss Prevention (DLP) system is the best measure for mitigating the risk of data exfiltration during a cyberattack. DLP systems are specifically designed to monitor and control the transfer of sensitive data to prevent unauthorized access and leakage. They provide detailed surveillance capabilities to detect and block any suspicious data movement within a network, making them highly effective in preventing exfiltration activities. The other options, while useful in general cybersecurity, do not offer the focused protection against data exfiltration that a DLP system provides.

While a perimeter firewall (option A) is an essential security measure for controlling inbound and outbound network traffic, it may not provide the granular control and monitoring capabilities necessary to prevent data exfiltration.
