True

False

10 / 20

In MongoDB, where are encryption keys for data at rest stored by default when using a local keyfile?

On the server’s file system

In the admin database

Within the MongoDB database

In a MongoDB collection

11 / 20

Which of the following is true about MongoDB client-side field-level encryption?

It encrypts indexes automatically

True

False

13 / 20

MongoDB client-side encryption requires a driver that supports it, such as the MongoDB Node.js or Python drivers. True or False?

True

False

14 / 20

In MongoDB, server logs are automatically encrypted if data encryption at rest is enabled. True or False?

True

False

15 / 20

Enabling encryption in MongoDB automatically provides end-to-end security for data stored and queried by clients. True or False?

True

False

16 / 20

Which MongoDB feature allows encrypted fields to be queried using equality operators?

17 / 20

What is the primary benefit of enabling field-level encryption over database-level encryption?

It increases database speed

Encryption of specific data fields within a document

Automatic indexing of encrypted fields

It secures database logs

18 / 20

MongoDB's encryption at rest can be integrated with cloud key management services like AWS KMS, Azure Key Vault, and Google Cloud KMS. True or False?

True

False

19 / 20

Field-level encryption in MongoDB encrypts specific fields within documents rather than the entire document. True or False?

True

False

20 / 20
