Which of the following explains the reason for the increase in disk space usage? A. Deduplication is not compatible with encryption B. The exports are being stored on smaller SAS drives C. Encrypted files are much larger than unencrypted files D. The SAN already uses encryption at rest Answer: C Explanation: Encryption adds overhead to the data which results in and increase in file size. This overhead is attached to each file and could include the encryption/decryption key, data recovery files and data decryption field in file header. As a result, requires increased storage space. QUESTION 560 Which of the following is an advantage of implementing individual file encryption on a hard drive which already deploys full disk encryption? A. Reduces processing overhead required to access the encrypted files B. Double encryption causes the individually encrypted files to partially lose their properties C. Individually encrypted files will remain encrypted when copied to external media D. File level access control only apply to individually encrypted files in a fully encrypted drive Answer: C Explanation: With full disk encryption a file is encrypted as long as it remains on the disk. This is because the data on the disk is decrypted when the user logs on, thus the data is in a decrypted form when it is copied to another disk. Individually encrypted files on the other hand remain encrypted. QUESTION 561 A team of firewall administrators have access to a `master password list' containing service account passwords. Which of the following BEST protects the master password list? A. File encryption B. Password hashing C. USB encryption D.
