Storage DLP is specifically designed to protect which of the following?

Storage DLP (Data Loss Prevention) is focused on protecting data that is stored or "at rest" within an organization's infrastructure. This includes sensitive information that resides on servers, databases, file shares, and more, which could otherwise be vulnerable to unauthorized access, loss, or theft.

The primary goal of Storage DLP is to monitor, detect, and prevent potential data breaches involving stored data. By employing policies and controls, such as encryption, access restrictions, and monitoring systems, organizations can effectively safeguard their most sensitive information.

In contrast, the other scenarios presented deal with data in different states: data in transit refers to information actively moving across networks and is protected through different methods, such as encryption protocols; data in brokers' or exchanges' databases might require specific regulatory compliance but doesn't specifically align with Storage DLP's focus; and data processed in real-time by applications typically involves different forms of security mechanisms to protect it during processing or transit rather than when it is stored. Thus, the emphasis on protecting data at rest clearly defines the role and purpose of Storage DLP.
