What is the role of encryption in cybersecurity, and how does it help protect data in transit and at rest?
Encryption is a cybersecurity technique that converts data into an unreadable format using cryptographic algorithms. It helps protect data in transit by securing communications over networks and data at rest by securing stored data on devices or servers. Encryption ensures that even if attackers gain unauthorized access to data, they cannot read or use it without the encryption key.
