0Your organization regularly handles three types of data: information that it shares with customers, information that it uses internally to conduct business, and trade secret information that offers the organization significant competitive advantages. Information shared with customers is used and stored on web servers, while both the internal business data and the trade secret information are stored on internal file servers and employee workstations. The organization leverages memory-resident databases to improve system performance for both customer data and internal business data. What term best describes data that is resident in system memory?
Answer Options
A
Data at rest
B
Buffered data
C
Data in use
D
Data in motion
Correct Answer: C
Explanation
Data is often considered based on the data state that it is in. Data can be at rest (on a drive or other storage medium), in use and thus in memory or a buffer and often decrypted for use, or in transit over a network. Data that is resident in system memory is considered data in use.
