I think they should be encrypted regardless of where they're stored.

Wait, Base64 encoding is not real security, right?

I vaguely remember something about Base64 encoding not being secure enough, so I’m leaning towards encryption as the right answer here.

I feel like option C makes the most sense since encryption is crucial for protecting sensitive information, but I’m a bit uncertain about the other options.

I think we practiced a similar question about storing credentials in configuration files, but I can’t recall the exact details on encryption.

I remember discussing how secrets should never be hardcoded in scripts, but I’m not sure if they should always be encrypted or just stored securely.

This looks like a networking security question. I think I know the answer, but I'll double-check my notes just to be sure.

Okay, I think I've got a strategy here. The key is to really understand what's causing the application failures in the first place. Updating the golden master image and redeploying the desktops might be a good place to start.

This looks like a pretty straightforward question on web application security. I think the key is to focus on input validation and sanitization to prevent injection attacks.
