3-4Security Architecture

A security engineer wants backup data protected against ransomware while it moves to storage and while it is stored. What must be ensured?

Data is secured only during transfer, not while storedProtecting only transfer leaves stored backups exposed to compromise.
Data security is optional if backups are encrypted onceTreating security as optional contradicts the need for continuous protection.
Data is secured only while stored, not during transferProtecting only storage leaves data exposed while moving to the vault.
Data is secured against ransomware both in transit and at restCorrect · your answerCorrect: both transit and at-rest protection are required for ransomware resilience.

Correct.

Checked against learn.microsoft.com, July 2026

Concept

Ransomware resilience for backups depends on protecting data across its full lifecycle, not one stage.

Why D

Backup protection against ransomware requires securing data both in transit and at rest, covering the full path from source to storage.

Source

It provides security to your backup environment, both when your data is in transit and at rest.
