1. Your company writes software for voting machines and needs to ensure that the software and documentation is carefully protected on its servers. Last week, one of the servers was stolen from its machine room, but fortunately that server did not contain sensitive voting machine files. What folder and file security can your company use to protect its information in the future, so that even if a server is stolen its files cannot be accessed?

Microsoft Encrypting File System

Explanation:

The Microsoft Encrypting File system is developed to encrypt files for protection from attackers. This is a feature that makes available filesystem-level encryption.

The Microsoft Encrypting File system can be used to encrypt files, directory or drive. When Windows is installed, no files are encrypted, however, this feature can be enabled.

Back to our scenario, to avoid the access to important files when a server is to enable the Microsoft Encrypting File System. This will ensure that the voting files on the drive are inaccessible, making files more secure.
