A human resources manager stores a spreadsheet with sensitive personal information on her local workstation. The spreadsheet is the only file with sensitive data, and the name of the spreadsheet does not change.

As a security specialist, you must choose the best form of encryption to protect the spreadsheet. Your choices are:

BitLocker
BitLocker To Go
File encryption via Encrypting File System (EFS)
Folder encryption via EFS

Answer the following question(s):

Which form of encryption would ensure the spreadsheet is always stored on the disk in encrypted format? More than one form may be correct.

To complete this assignment, you must do the following:
A) Create a new thread. You must post the answer to your question by Thursday for full credit (14 points – 25% reduction if posted past Thursday)

B) Select AT LEAST 3 other students’ threads and post substantive comments on those threads, evaluating the pros and cons of that student’s recommendations. Your comments should extend the conversation started with the thread. (6 points – not accepted past Sunday at midnight)
ALL original posts and comments must be substantive. (I’m looking for about a paragraph – not just “I agree.”)
NOTE: These discussions should be informal discussions, NOT research papers. If you MUST directly quote a resource, then cite it properly. However, I would much rather simply read your words.
