B

Answer to Question 2

Encryption is the process of scrambling a message in such a way that it is difficult, expensive, or time-consuming for an unauthorized person to unscramble it. Major benefits of encryption include allowing users to carry data on their portable devices, protecting backup media while offsite, allowing for highly secure virtual private networks, enforcing policies regarding who handles what corporate data, ensuring compliance with privacy laws and regulations, and protecting the organization's reputation and secrets.
