TLS protects citizen browser sessions to the permitting portal, while volume encryption protects data stored on attached disks. Which statement correctly contrasts these controls?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
TLS is the armored truck moving data between browser and portal; disk encryption is the locked vault when that data sits still. One covers the journey, the other covers storage—you usually need both. Mixing them up leaves either the road or the warehouse exposed.
Full Explanation
Encryption in transit (commonly TLS) protects data while it moves between clients and services, whereas encryption at rest protects stored volumes and objects. Neither substitutes for the other in a complete design: HTTPS endpoints still need TLS even when disks are encrypted. Cloud+ security best practices require distinguishing and applying both transit and rest protections appropriately.
