An organization runs analytics tasks in a shared environment. They notice that sensitive information remains in storage after tasks finish. They would like to ensure these tasks carry no ongoing state. Which approach is recommended?
Embed sensitive data within the configuration for convenience
Avoid encrypting memory segments for computational efficiency
Use a shared credential across multiple tasks
Generate credentials that expire after tasks conclude
Using credentials that expire when tasks finish helps avoid leftover data. A single credential for all tasks offers broad access, which is risky. Embedding sensitive data in configurations can expose it to unintended viewers, and omitting encryption makes stored data easier to retrieve without authorization.
