# Assessment 15 #### Let's apply what you have learned so far to a specific scenario. Choose the correct response. You are part of a team managing a company's digital infrastructure. During a routine check, you discover that the company's data is being transmitted over an unsecured network protocol, leaving it vulnerable to interception. What is the best course of action to address this issue? * [x] Immediately switch to a secure protocol like HTTPS or implement encryption to protect the data during transmission. * [ ] Ignore the issue since no data breaches have been reported yet. * [ ] Inform the team but wait for the next scheduled system update to address the problem. * [ ] Disable all data transmissions temporarily until a new protocol is implemented, even if it disrupts business operations. **Notes to Learners** The best course of action is to immediately switch to a secure protocol like HTTPS or implement encryption to protect the data during transmission. This ensures the integrity and confidentiality of the data, which is critical in maintaining trust in digital systems. Ignoring the issue or delaying action increases the risk of data breaches, while disabling all transmissions could unnecessarily disrupt operations.
