Certified Information Privacy Technologist (CIPT) — Question 58

What must be used in conjunction with disk encryption?

Answer options

• A. Increased CPU speed.
• B. A strong password.
• C. A digital signature.
• D. Export controls.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

A strong password is essential for disk encryption as it protects the encryption keys from unauthorized access, ensuring that only authorized users can decrypt the data. Increased CPU speed, a digital signature, and export controls are not directly related to the effectiveness of disk encryption, making them less relevant in this context.
