  • When data masking 'anonymizes' data, what does this mean?
    It makes the data unusable for any purpose.
    It makes the data completely invisible.
    It converts the data into pictures.
    It hides the original identity of the data.
  • What technique should a software team use to protect user data during development?
    Use a data erasure software on the database.
    Send the database files to the recycle bin.
    Break the storage media into tiny particles.
    Apply data masking to create fictitious user data.
  • What technique could have prevented a data breach from recoverable 'deleted' customer info?
    Data erasure for permanent destruction.
    Data encryption for protection.
    Data masking for testing.
    Data archiving for storage.
  • How does a degausser destroy data on storage media, compared to a shredder?
    Degaussers encrypt data; shredders remove file pathways.
    Degaussers alter magnetic patterns; shredders break media into particles.
    Degaussers overwrite with software; shredders use heat.
    Degaussers use physical force; shredders use electromagnetic fields.
  • How can you safely discard personal photos on a USB drive?
    Rename the photo files.
    Use data erasure software on the USB drive.
    Drag the photos to the trash icon.
    Move the USB drive to a different computer.
  • What is the main purpose of data erasure when data reaches the end of its life cycle?
    To ensure the data is permanently unrecoverable.
    To prepare the data for backup.
    To make the data confusing to read.
    To save space on storage devices.
  • What do degaussers specifically use to remove data from storage media?
    Powerful electromagnetic fields.
    Strong chemical solvents.
    High-frequency sound waves.
    Physical crushing and grinding.
  • What happens when software permanently removes data from storage?
    The software creates a backup of the data.
    The software hides the data in a secret folder.
    The software overwrites the data with zeros and ones.
    The software changes the data into a different format.
  • What is the primary purpose of data masking?
    To delete old files from a computer.
    To permanently destroy data on a storage device.
    To send files to the recycle bin.
    To replace real data with fake, functional data.
  • Which statement best describes how data masking differs from data deletion?
    Masking works only physically; deletion works only with software.
    Masking keeps data functional; deletion removes its path.
    Masking affects all data; deletion affects only some.
    Masking destroys data; deletion makes data fake.
