To prevent data from being accessed by unauthorized users

A company has a database with a recovery point objective (RPO) of 1 hour and a recovery time objective (RTO) of 2 hours. The database is backed up every night at 2:00 AM. At 3:00 PM, a server failure occurs, and the company restores from the last backup. Which statement about the recovery is correct?

Both RPO and RTO are met because the backup exists

The RPO is met because the backup is from the same day

The RTO is not met because the restore takes longer than 2 hours

The RPO is not met because the last backup is from 2:00 AM, which is 13 hours of data loss

What is the primary security concern for data in transit?

Unauthorized access to stored files

Unauthorized modification of data in memory

Interception or eavesdropping during transmission
