Episode 30 — Data Protection: Encryption at Rest and In Transit
Encryption is one of the strongest defenses in the cloud, and the CCSP exam devotes significant focus to it. In this episode, we explore encryption at rest and in transit, explaining how different algorithms, key lengths, and protocols protect data across contexts. We also discuss where encryption is applied automatically by providers and where customer configuration is essential.
We then connect encryption to compliance frameworks, highlighting how laws and standards often dictate specific requirements for encryption practices. Exam scenarios frequently test whether you can identify when encryption is appropriate and which form should be applied. By the end of this episode, you’ll understand not only the mechanics of encryption but its strategic role in protecting cloud data. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com.
