An international finance company has implemented a security solution to prevent sensitive information from being shared externally through emails. A security analyst notices that an employee has successfully sent an email containing encrypted credit card information to a personal email address. Which of the following is most likely the reason the security system failed to detect and block this event?
The security solution does not inspect encrypted email contents.
The security solution does not support monitoring for financial data.
The security solution was not configured to monitor emails sent to personal email addresses.
The employee used a personal email client which bypasses the security solution.
The security solution likely failed to detect the encrypted credit card information because the content was encrypted. Such systems generally rely on pattern matching and keyword recognition to identify sensitive data, which becomes challenging when data is encrypted. Inspecting encrypted data usually requires decrypting and analyzing the data content, which might not be configured or supported depending on the specific security solution.
