Certified Data Privacy Solutions Engineer (CDPSE) — Question 164

Which of the following techniques BEST protects the privacy of personal data accessed via system endpoints?

Answer options

• A. Endpoint detection and response (EDR)
• B. Encryption
• C. Normalization
• D. Intrusion detection system (IDS)

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Encryption is the most effective method for protecting personal data as it converts the information into a coded format that can only be accessed with a decryption key. While Endpoint detection and response (EDR), Normalization, and Intrusion detection system (IDS) enhance security, they do not directly secure the data itself like encryption does.
