Green Pants Ltd has a lot of sensitive data around their unique designs for pants. Daniela, one of the designers, has noticed there is a weakness in their IT system, which means that data may be accessible to people outside the company. She would like the company to invest in software that can hide or disguise the data so that if it is ever stolen, the designs of the pants are not readable to others. What software is Daniela requesting?

Encryption makes data unreadable by converting it into an encoded format using an algorithm. If the data is stolen, it remains unreadable without the decryption key. A common example is WhatsApp's end-to-end encryption. (P.188)

Wait, can encryption really protect designs?

I feel like this question is similar to one we practiced on data protection methods, and I think encryption was the answer there too.

I’m a bit confused because I thought authentication was more about verifying users, not protecting data. Could it be encryption after all?

I remember studying about different security measures, and encryption definitely seems to fit because it makes data unreadable without the right key.

I think Daniela is looking for something that protects the data itself, so it might be encryption, but I'm not entirely sure.

Based on the details provided, I think encryption is the way to go. It's the best way to protect the sensitive data and ensure that even if it's stolen, the designs won't be readable to others. I feel good about selecting that option.

I'm a bit confused on this one. Encryption, authentication, and proxy all seem like they could be relevant, but I'm not sure which one is the most appropriate for Daniela's specific needs. I'll have to review the question again.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. Encryption could work, but a firewall might also be an option to prevent unauthorized access in the first place. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Yes, a firewall can help in blocking unauthorized access, but encryption is specifically designed to make the data unreadable even if it is stolen.

Encryption is the way to go, no doubt. But I wonder if they'll need to hire a professional to implement it properly. Wouldn't want any 'pant-related' disasters, am I right?
