Why does securing Kafka with both encryption and authentication reduce the risk of data breaches more effectively than using only one of these methods?

hard📝 Conceptual Q10 of 15

Kafka - Security

ABecause encryption speeds up data transfer and authentication compresses messages

BBecause encryption protects data privacy and authentication ensures only trusted users access data

CBecause authentication alone encrypts data, making encryption unnecessary

DBecause encryption alone controls user permissions, making authentication redundant

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand encryption's role
Encryption keeps data private by making it unreadable to outsiders during transfer.
Step 2: Understand authentication's role
Authentication verifies user identity, allowing only trusted users to access data.
Final Answer:
Because encryption protects data privacy and authentication ensures only trusted users access data -> Option B
Quick Check:
Encryption + Authentication = Privacy + Access control [OK]

Quick Trick: Both encryption and authentication protect data best [OK]

Common Mistakes:

MISTAKES

Confusing encryption with compression or speed
Assuming authentication encrypts data
Thinking encryption controls user permissions
