QuestionQ86

Securing Assets

An organization’s financial data was compromised and published online. A forensic review confirms that the database at the host site had proper access rights and encryption. The absence of which control MOST likely led to the exposure?

  • A Encryption of data in transit
  • B Properly configured firewall
  • C Multi-factor authentication (MFA)
  • D Continual backups
Explanation

Encryption in transit protects confidential data while it moves across networks. Proper database permissions and encryption at the host site protect access and stored data, but do not prevent interception of unencrypted data during transmission.
