Question

Your boss has purchased a new laptop for business use and has asked you to make sure the data he plans to store on the laptop is secure. Which of the following security measures is the most important to implement to keep the data secure? Second in importance?

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Use BitLocker Encryption with the TPM chip

B. Secure Boot option

Explanation:

Trusted Platform Module or TPM chip is a tool used to produce reliable and unusual cryptographic codes and save them in an encrypted form to be utilized to validate hardware accessories. The cryptographic systems are encrypted and can be decrypted only by the TPM chip, which designed and encrypted them. BitLocker software uses a TPM chip to control the encryption of the computer data. Since the key saved in the TPM is distinctive, the BitLocker software can quickly verify the encrypted TPM and do not pass the decryption to another computer.

The method of Secure Boot is where the Operating System boot pictures and code are verified against the hardware before they are authorized to be used in the actual boot process.

If my boss uses both the encryption and secure boot, the data will become secure.
