Backup tapes holding court records travel by courier to an offsite vault. What media-protection practice is most appropriate in transit?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Tapes on a truck are still your court records — lock the bits, track the boxes, and keep custody tight. Encryption plus tamper-aware handling beats open bins on the dock. Curious warehouse browsing is not a backup feature.
Full Explanation
Media management in operations protects data at rest on removable media and in transit to offsite storage through encryption, physical custody controls, inventory, and tamper-evident processes. Untracked, unencrypted, or unattended media create confidentiality and integrity exposure. CISSP operations treat backup media as sensitive assets throughout the transport lifecycle.
