Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Identify encryption needs
Encrypting data in transit requires SSL/TLS; data at rest needs disk or volume encryption.Step 2: Identify access control needs
Kafka ACLs control who can read or write topics, essential for privacy compliance.Step 3: Combine security features
Enable SSL for encryption in transit, enable Kafka ACLs for access control, and use disk encryption for data at rest covers encryption in transit, encryption at rest, and access control.Final Answer:
Enable SSL for encryption in transit, enable Kafka ACLs for access control, and use disk encryption for data at rest -> Option AQuick Check:
Encryption + ACLs + disk encryption = full security [OK]
Quick Trick: Combine encryption and access control for full protection [OK]
Common Mistakes:
- Thinking SSL alone is enough
- Ignoring access control
- Relying only on network firewall
