Developing Applications Using Cisco Core Platforms and APIs (DEVCOR) — Question 28

Which two strategies are used to protect personally identifiable information? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Encrypt data in transit.
• B. Encrypt hash values of data.
• C. Encrypt data at rest.
• D. Only hash usernames and passwords for efficient lookup.
• E. Only encrypt usernames and passwords for efficient lookup.

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

The correct answers, A and C, focus on ensuring that data is protected both while being transmitted and while stored, which is critical for safeguarding personally identifiable information. Options B, D, and E do not provide adequate protection of the data itself, as hashing is not encryption and does not protect data at rest or in transit.
