Encoding (e.g., Base64) transforms data into a format that may bypass data loss prevention (DLP) tools.
DLP solutions often look for specific patterns (e.g., sensitive keywords, file headers) and may not recognize encoded data.
Why Not Other Options?
B (Compression): Compression reduces file size but does not typically bypass DLP detection mechanisms.
C (Encryption): Encrypted data is detectable by DLP tools, though its contents may not be readable.
D (Obfuscation): While obfuscation hides intent, encoding is more effective for bypassing automated detection.
