What is a common practice that penetration testers implement to ensure the confidentiality of sensitive data gathered during a security assessment?
Storing data only in a secure physical location
Encrypting all sensitive data
Hashing all sensitive data
Using strong passwords on all accounts
Encrypting all sensitive data ensures that the information remains unreadable and protected in the event of interception or unauthorized access. Even if a third party were to gain access to the data, without the encryption key, the data would remain confidential. Using strong passwords is a good practice but does not protect data at rest or in transit. Hashing is irreversible and typically used for verifying data integrity rather than confidentiality. Storing in a secure location is a good practice but doesn't provide protection during data transfer.
