✓ Correct answer
- Recovery protection is valuable, but disclosure and access risks require additional controls
Recovery protection is valuable, but disclosure and access risks require additional controls: Backups restore data; they do not undo prior theft or prevent unauthorized disclosure. Immutability was necessarily misconfigured because exfiltration occurred: Vault immutability addresses recovery-point destruction, not every production data access. A successful restore removes all confidentiality consequences: Restoration cannot revoke knowledge of data already stolen. Data protection is unnecessary after recovery succeeds: The incident demonstrates why disclosure prevention and detection are still needed.
