Which THREE elements are essential when configuring Database Activity Monitoring (DAM)?

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

Identifying sensitive data objects

DAM requires defining the scope (what to monitor), the sensitivity of the data, and the alerting rules for suspicious activity.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • Upgrading the database server CPU

    Why it's wrong here

    CPU upgrades do not assist in activity monitoring.

  • Identifying sensitive data objects

    Why this is correct

    Focusing monitoring on PII/sensitive data is more effective.

  • Installing extra network routers

    Why it's wrong here

    Router installation is unrelated to DAM.

  • Configuring alert thresholds

    Why this is correct

    Thresholds prevent alert fatigue while catching real threats.

  • Defining audit rules for privileged users

    Why this is correct

    Privileged users are the highest risk category.
