Question

Which email security measure involves encrypting outgoing messages to protect sensitive information ?

• A. Digital signature
• B. Password rotation
• C. Automated email encryption
• D. Spam filtering

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Automated email encryption

Automated email encryption:

• Automated email encryption software can be used to scan all outgoing messages for potentially sensitive information.
• If the material is considered sensitive, then the content should be automatically encrypted before it's sent to the intended recipient.
• This process prevents attackers from gaining access to this information, even if they intercept it.
• Only recipients with permission to view the email can see the decrypted content.
