A technology company has expanded its operations by adding cloud-based hosts while retaining equipment on-premises. They want a unified encryption approach that applies to data in both locations. Which action achieves consistent key handling and minimizes complexity?
Adopt separate local solutions so each site encrypts data independently
Distribute new keys through email whenever a key rotation is planned
Use a centralized system that manages encryption keys for both locations
Exchange key updates manually through scheduled procedures at each site
A single management solution streamlines key use across on-premises and external resources. Other methods rely on multiple software setups, manual handling, or insecure distribution channels, which can result in inconsistent practices and administrative complications.
