Within the context of the three recognized data states, what term describes information that an application is actively reading from or writing to volatile memory, thereby exposing it in plaintext during the processing cycle?
Archived data
Data in use
Data at rest
Data in transit
'Data in use' refers to data actively processed within system memory (RAM) by applications or services. Because this data must be available to the CPU, it is typically in an unencrypted state and is vulnerable to threats such as memory-scraping malware or unauthorized access. Securing data in use requires different techniques (for example, memory encryption or secure enclaves) than those applied to data at rest or in transit.
