Which mode of encryption secures data while it navigates the CSP network or the Internet?

Encryption of data in transit plays a crucial role in securing sensitive information while it moves across a network or the internet. When data is transmitted from one point to another, it is vulnerable to interception and unauthorized access. Utilizing encryption techniques during this transmission ensures that even if the data packets are captured, they cannot be easily read or manipulated by unauthorized entities.

By encrypting data in transit, organizations can protect sensitive information, including personally identifiable information (PII), financial transactions, and confidential communications, from eavesdropping and man-in-the-middle attacks. This method employs algorithms and protocols, such as TLS (Transport Layer Security) and SSL (Secure Sockets Layer), which create a secure channel between the sender and the recipient.

The other options do not provide the same level of protection during transmission. For instance, encryption of data at rest secures data stored on servers or databases but does not address the risks associated with data moving through networks. Data obfuscation and data masking are techniques that transform data to prevent exposure while still allowing certain forms of processing, but they do not encrypt data in the way that specifically protects it during transmission. Therefore, encryption of data in transit is essential for maintaining confidentiality and integrity while data is actively being transmitted over potentially unsafe networks
