What ensures data security during file sharing in Google Workspace?

The correct choice is the use of encryption for data at rest and in transit, as this is a fundamental aspect of ensuring data security during file sharing in Google Workspace.

Encryption for data at rest means that files stored on Google servers are secured through cryptographic methods, making them unreadable to anyone who does not have the appropriate access permissions. This is crucial for protecting sensitive information from unauthorized access, even if an attacker were to gain physical access to the data storage systems.

Similarly, encryption for data in transit protects the data while it is being sent between users, devices, and services on the internet. This means that the information is encoded so that it cannot be intercepted and read by malicious entities during transfer. Google Workspace employs TLS (Transport Layer Security) to encrypt this data, providing another layer of security against eavesdropping and data theft.

Together, these encryption measures create a robust framework for maintaining the confidentiality and integrity of files shared within Google Workspace, ensuring that data remains secure throughout its lifecycle, whether it is stored or being transmitted.
