CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-003) — Question 48

Which of the following techniques is the best way to avoid detection by data loss prevention tools?

Answer options

• A. Encoding
• B. Compression
• C. Encryption
• D. Obfuscation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Encryption is the most effective technique for preventing detection by data loss prevention tools because it transforms data into a format that is unreadable without the appropriate decryption key. While encoding, compression, and obfuscation may alter the data's appearance, they do not provide the same level of security and protection from detection as encryption does.
