Securing Data with Encryption Software

Objective: Explored encryption practices to secure data at rest and data in transit, comparing various encryption tools.

• VeraCrypt and BitLocker: Tools for full-disk and file-level encryption.
• SSL/TLS: Secured data in transit.

• Data at Rest vs. Data in Transit: Comparison of encryption needs for static vs. transmitted data.
• Encryption Tools: Assessed software solutions for securing sensitive data.

1. Data at Rest Encryption: Configured and tested encryption tools to secure files and drives.
2. Data in Transit Encryption: Verified SSL/TLS functionality to protect data during transmission.

• Practical understanding of encryption for data protection.
• Comparison of tools for securing data in various states.
