Which security concept, if implemented correctly, will protect the data on a system, even if a malicious actor gains access to the actual system?
Answer options:
A. Sandboxing
B. Encryption
C. Firewalls
D. Access control
Answer correct:

In any environment, data encryption is incredibly important to prevent unauthorized exposure of data either internally or externally. If a system is compromised by an attack, having the data encrypted on the system will prevent its unauthorized exposure or export, even with the system itself being exposed.
