Select ALL measures identified in the lesson as ways to control confidentiality.

Answer

Restrict access to people and systems that need it, Use multifactor authentication, Encrypt data in storage or transit

Explanation

### Why this is right - **Restrict access to people and systems that need it** is correct: limiting access to authorized parties directly reduces opportunities for disclosure. - **Use multifactor authentication** is correct: requiring more than one kind of proof can help ensure that the person gaining access is the intended user. - **Encrypt data in storage or transit** is correct: encryption makes protected information unreadable without the required key. ### The concept Confidentiality controls aim to stop unauthorized parties from viewing information. Access control limits which identities can reach a resource. **Multifactor authentication** requires multiple forms of evidence to authenticate a user. **Encryption** transforms readable data into a form that requires a key to recover. These controls address different parts of the problem: authentication checks identity, authorization enforces permissions, and encryption protects the data itself. No single control makes every other control unnecessary. ### The other options - **D. Use load balancing to distribute workloads**: This is mainly an availability measure. It spreads requests across resources rather than deciding who may view data. - **E. Replace identity checks with unrestricted access**: This removes a barrier to unauthorized access and therefore weakens confidentiality. ### Terms - **Multifactor authentication**: Authentication that requires evidence from more than one factor. - **Encryption**: Transforming readable information into a protected form that requires a key to reverse. - **Load balancing**: Distributing work across multiple resources to reduce the chance that one resource is overwhelmed. ### Remember Use access controls and identity checks to limit entry, and encryption to protect data if it is exposed.
