Preventive Controls - Encryption

Discuss, in 350 words, how you would advise your current employer to use encryption to reduce the vulnerabilities of  their data at rest, in use, and in transit (or in motion).  Identify at what points you think their data is at the highest risk. Consider where the data is when it at rest, in transit, or in use and the potential vulnerabilities associated with each of those locations.

Use at least three sources. Include at least 3 quotes from your sources enclosed in quotation marks and cited in-line by reference to your reference list. Cite your sources. Do not copy. Write in essay format not in bulleted, numbered or other list format. 

Provide a URL for your citations.  Write in essay format not in bulleted, numbered or other list format. Do not copy without providing proper attribution. Use quotes to indicate where you have used other's words. Your SafeAssign score is irrelevant if you have properly cited your work. However, it also shows when you have quoted work incorrectly so make sure your quotes use the original author's language.
