Exam CCSP topic 1 question 340 discussion

Overwriting is the fastest/cheapest option provided. Encrytping data takes time' Encrytpion takes horse power to do quickly. It is both CPU and Disk intensive. The larger the data set, the longer the time. Encrypting large Virtual disks can be time consuming. Additional steps are required when destroying disks that contain OS can not be done while server is running. .. media deistructuon is fastest. . One call to the appropriate provider and the disks servers are dust. usually next day. In my earlier days, I have used a drll press to kill disks. 2 seconds per disk . SSD storage modules would be simpler to destroy ( Hammer )

Encrypting data and then encrypting the keys and then deleting the keys will take more time than just overwriting the data. In terms of speed i think overwriting is more correct than Cryptoshredding. but in terms of Security Crypto shedding is better than overwriting

Ok if data are already encrypted, but if not? This could take more time...

C. Crypthographic erasure

data deletion needs to be "defensible destruction", overwrite doesn't provide this. destruction and shredding is not often an option and not cheap either.

Looks C to me. If someone has already passed the exam, can review all questions and put their response to support exam takers.

delete keys, thats only few clicks. The answer is correct

Surely overwriting is quicker and cheaper?
