You have been working long hours and have been taking work home on an external USB drive. Much of the work you do involves proprietary company information. You place your USB drive in your pocket and head out. On the way to work, you stop by a restaurant to grab a quick bite to eat before another long day. When you get to work you realize the USB drive is no longer in your pocket. You carefully check your car and still cannot find it$.$ You realize you must have dropped it earlier. You go back to the restaurant and the USB drive is not there. The data on the USB drive was encrypted.

With that in mind, engage in a conversation related to at least ONE of the following:

Do you need to be concerned with losing the USB drive? Why or why not?

Does the type of encryption used matter; why or why not?
