Question

which is the correct best practice regarding the use of cloud services for storing or sharing sensitive information?

cloud services are fine to use with sensitive information as long as you require a password.

cloud services are always authorized for storing and sharing sensitive information.

do not use cloud services for storing or sharing sensitive information unless you have prior approval.

Explanation:

• Analyzing the first option: Just requiring a password is not sufficient for sensitive info in cloud, as there are other security and compliance aspects.
• Analyzing the second option: Cloud services aren't always authorized for sensitive info; many have restrictions.
• Analyzing the third option: Sensitive information handling in organizations often requires prior approval to ensure compliance with security policies, legal requirements, and data protection norms. So using cloud for sensitive info without prior approval is risky, and prior approval is a standard best practice.

Answer:

C. Do not use cloud services for storing or sharing sensitive information unless you have prior approval.
