You are the IT manager of a large legal firm in California. Your firm represents many important clients whose names always must remain anonymous to the public. Your boss, Mr. Smith, is always concerned about client information being leaked or revealed to the press or public. You have just finished a complete security overhaul of your information systems including an updated IPS, new firewalls, email encryption, and employee security awareness training. Unfortunately, many of your firm’s clients do not trust technology to completely secure their information, so couriers routinely have to travel back and forth, to and from the office with sensitive information.
Your boss has charged you with figuring out how to secure the information the couriers must transport. You propose that the data be transferred using burned CD’s or USB flash drives. You initially think of encrypting the files, but decide against that method for fear the encryption keys could eventually be broken.?
What software application could you use to hide the data on the CD’s and USB flash drives?
A.
File snuff
B.
Snow
C.
EFS
D.
File sneaker
