[All WGU (KFO1/D488) Cybersecurity Architecture and Engineering Questions]

Which risk management strategy will ensure the secure storage of data on a new document management system?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Encrypting stored (at rest) dataensures that even if the storage is compromised (e.g., stolen or accessed by unauthorized parties), the data remains unintelligible without the encryption keys.

NIST SP 800-111 (Guide to Storage Encryption Technologies):

''Data encryption provides confidentiality of information stored on media or storage systems, preventing unauthorized disclosure of sensitive data.''

Encryption is a core requirement forconfidentiality controls, especially for systems handling documents and records.

Haha, I'd choose C too. Encrypt all the things! No need for virtual private networks or frequent password changes.

A VPN sounds good for remote access, but I wonder if it really secures the data itself like encryption does.

Option D with the VPN connection could also be a solid choice. That would help secure remote access, which is crucial for a document management system. I'll have to weigh the pros and cons of each approach.

I'm a bit confused on this one. Are all the options viable strategies, or is one clearly the best approach? I want to make sure I understand the nuances before selecting an answer.

Definitely go with option C. Encryption is the gold standard for data security these days. The other options are good too, but encryption is the most comprehensive solution.

I remember a practice question where firewalls were emphasized, but I'm not sure if that's enough on its own.

I feel like requiring frequent password changes could help, but it might not be the best option compared to encryption.

Hmm, I'm not sure. The firewall policy in option B also seems important for restricting access to the system. I'll need to think this through carefully.
