CompTIA SecurityX (CAS-005) — Question 175

An organization is concerned about insider threats from employees who have individual access to encrypted material. Which of the following techniques best addresses this issue?

Answer options

• A. SSO with MFA
• B. Salting and hashing
• C. Account federation with hardware tokens
• D. SAE
• E. Key splitting

Correct answer: E

Explanation

Key splitting is effective because it divides the encryption keys into multiple parts, preventing any single user from having full access to the encrypted material. The other options, while enhancing security, do not specifically address the issue of limiting access to encrypted data among individuals.
