Why is data stored in Google Cloud secure and private? (Digital Leader)

Correct answer: C) Data is encrypted by default.
Here's why:

A) The Security Command Center is a security management and data risk platform in Google Cloud, but it does not directly encrypt data. It helps monitor and manage security policies and vulnerabilities.

B) Cloud Data Loss Prevention (DLP) is a service that helps to detect and prevent the unauthorized sharing of sensitive data, but it does not directly encrypt data.

C) Google Cloud encrypts customer data by default, both at rest and in transit. This means that data is automatically encrypted before it is written to disk, and decrypted only when accessed by an authorized user.

D) While Google Cloud allows for encryption based on appropriate tags or labels through features like Customer-Managed Encryption Keys (CMEK), data is encrypted by default regardless of whether specific tags are applied.

Therefore, the primary reason data stored in Google Cloud is secure and private is that it is encrypted by default.
