Question

why is it risky behavior to store any work information to a personal cloud account, such as a personal dropbox or icloud account?

• they may not have the required protections and policies that our organization requires.
• they do not scan for malware while information is being sent from our network to the cloud.
• they may not be accessible while connected to our organizations network.

Explanation:

• For the option "They may not have the required protections and policies that our organization requires": Personal cloud accounts are managed independently and often lack the security protocols (like data encryption standards, access controls, compliance with organizational security policies) that work - related data storage needs. Organizations have specific security and privacy policies to protect sensitive work information, and personal cloud services may not adhere to these.
• For the option "They do not scan for malware while information is being sent from our network to the Cloud": Most legitimate cloud services, including personal ones, do have malware scanning mechanisms during data transfer. So this is not a valid reason.
• For the option "They may not be accessible while connected to our organization's network": Accessibility to the cloud account is not the main risk factor for storing work information. The primary concern is security and compliance, not accessibility.

Answer:

A. They may not have the required protections and policies that our organization requires.
