ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question

Field engineers gather sensor logs on isolated Windows 10 laptops, copy them to USB sticks, and later upload the files from either Windows or Linux workstations to Amazon S3. Corporate policy requires that every removable drive be encrypted with a FIPS-validated AES-256 implementation, impose almost no extra steps on engineers, and allow the security team to revoke or destroy keys remotely if the drive is lost. Which solution best satisfies these requirements?

  • Issue centrally managed, hardware-encrypted USB drives that perform on-device AES-256 encryption, unlock via a PIN keypad, and support remote kill or key rotation by security administrators.

  • Permit only FAT32-formatted USB drives and rely on server-side encryption when the files are uploaded to an Amazon S3 bucket over TLS.

  • Require engineers to compress logs into AES-256 password-protected 7-Zip archives before copying them to any standard USB flash drive.

  • Force BitLocker To Go encryption through Group Policy and escrow recovery keys in Active Directory, instructing Linux users to mount the drive with third-party tools when needed.
