Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Data routed through internal Bluetooth beacon devices
Why it's wrong here
Bluetooth beacon devices broadcast proximity signals, not bulk enterprise document data.
- ✗
Data processed inside physical server CPU cache registers only
Why it's wrong here
CPU cache registers are volatile hardware components not targeted directly by standard enterprise DLP products.
- ✓
Data in transit across network gateways (Network DLP)
Why this is correct
Network DLP monitors email, web traffic, FTP, and other protocols leaving the perimeter.
- ✗
Data transmitted over analog telephone modem lines
Why it's wrong here
Analog modems are obsolete and not monitored by modern enterprise DLP suites.
- ✓
Data at rest on endpoint hard drives and file shares (Storage/Discovery DLP)
Why this is correct
Discovery DLP scans file shares, databases, and servers for unauthorized sensitive data at rest.
