QuestionQ287

Cloud Data Security

What is the primary concern when a key management system is hosted outside the cloud environment?

  • A Confidentiality
  • B Portability
  • C Availability
  • D Integrity
Explanation

An externally hosted key management system can become unreachable because of network, service, or site failures. Cloud services that depend on it may then be unable to perform encryption or decryption operations, making availability the main concern. Google Cloud notes that externally managed keys can become unavailable and that affected resources or data can become inaccessible.
