  1. Architecture review
  2. Risk assessment
  3. Protocol analysis
  4. Code review

Question 172

  1. Configure the mail server to require TLS connections for every email to ensure all transport data is encrypted
  2. Create a user training program to identify the correct use of email and perform regular audits to ensure compliance
  3. Implement a DLP solution on the email gateway to scan email and remove sensitive data or files
  4. Classify all data according to its sensitivity and inform the users of data that is prohibited to share

Question 175
