The management team has mandated the use of data-at-rest encryption for all data. Which of the following forms of encryption best achieves this goal?
Correct Answer: A
Explanation
Drive encryption is a form of encryption that best achieves the goal of data-at-rest encryption for all data.
Drive encryption encrypts the entire hard drive, including the operating system, applications, and files. This prevents unauthorized access to the data if the drive is lost or stolen. Database, folder, and file encryption are forms of encryption that only encrypt specific data sets, not all data.
