Backup tapes leave the building nightly, and USB ports on clerk PCs are a known exfiltration path. Which layered approach addresses both risks?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Two doors, two locks: encrypt the tapes that roll out the loading dock, and clamp down USB so clerks can’t walk out with a stick full of tax data. Fancy courier badges don’t encrypt anything. Skipping backups ‘to be safe’ just breaks recovery.
Full Explanation
General data-protection considerations combine state-appropriate methods with operational handling restrictions. Encrypting backups leaving the facility protects confidentiality if media is lost, while restricting USB paths reduces endpoint exfiltration. Trusting courier appearance, allowing unrestricted USB, or stopping backups altogether fails confidentiality or availability objectives. Layer controls to match each path.
