Drone exam · Privacy and data protection

A team transfers sensitive drone footage over an open public Wi Fi network to an unencrypted laptop. What controls should be considered?

Answer

Use approved encrypted transfer methods, protected networks or secure tunnels where appropriate, and storage that protects the data if the device is lost or stolen.

Explanation

Field convenience should not turn a sensitive dataset into an easy interception or device loss problem. Security should cover both transmission and storage.
