[All PT0-002 Questions]

Which of the following is the most secure way to protect a final report file when delivering the report to the client/customer?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

* Using PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) encryption ensures that the report file is securely encrypted with the client's public key. Only the client can decrypt the file using their private key, ensuring confidentiality during transit.

* Details:

Option Analysis:

A . Creating a link on a cloud service and delivering it by email: This method is susceptible to interception or unauthorized access.

B . Asking for a PGP public key to encrypt the file: Provides end-to-end encryption ensuring that only the intended recipient can access the file.

C . Requiring FTPS security to download the file: While secure, it does not provide the same level of end-to-end encryption as PGP.

D . Copying the file on a USB drive and delivering it by postal mail: While physically secure, it is not practical and poses a risk of loss or theft.

* Reference: PGP encryption is a widely accepted method for securing sensitive data. It is recommended by many cybersecurity standards and best practice guides.

B) PGP encryption all the way! Who needs those fancy cloud services when you can have the good old-fashioned security of public-key cryptography?

D) Postal mail? Really? What is this, the 90s? I'm going with A) cloud service link. It's convenient and secure enough for most clients.

Haha, a USB drive? What is this, the 90s? I bet the client would be like, 'A floppy disk? How quaint!'

Postal mail? Really? That's so old-school. I bet that USB drive would get lost in the mail, and then the client's data would be out there for anyone to find. No thanks!

Option C is the way to go! FTPS is way more secure than those other options. No way I'm sending anything sensitive over email or cloud storage.
