Palo Alto Networks Cybersecurity Entry-Level Technician (PCCET) — Question 28

On an endpoint, which method is used to protect proprietary data stored on a laptop that has been stolen?

Answer options

• A. operating system patches
• B. full-disk encryption
• C. periodic data backups
• D. endpoint-based firewall

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Full-disk encryption is the correct method as it secures all data on the device, making it inaccessible without the proper authentication. Operating system patches, periodic data backups, and endpoint-based firewalls do not provide direct protection for data in the event of theft.
