Geoff's data is stored in a cloud service's database. What data state is the data in?

Answer Options

A

It is at rest.

B

It is in transit.

C

It is in use.

D

It is sovereign.

Correct Answer: A

Explanation

Since the data is not actively being moved between systems or via a network, and it is not being processed, it is data at rest. If the database was being actively accessed, the data might be in transit when it was sent to an application server and in use as the server processed it. Data sovereignty is the concept that countries can regulate data within their own borders.
