Why each option
Data confidentiality ensures that sensitive information is protected from unauthorized access and disclosure, maintaining its privacy.
Access control lists (ACLs) define which users or groups are granted specific permissions to access files, folders, or network resources, thereby restricting unauthorized disclosure.
Encryption transforms data into an unreadable format using a key, making it unintelligible to anyone without the correct key, thus safeguarding its confidentiality.
Regular system backups primarily ensure data availability and recoverability, allowing data to be restored in case of loss or corruption, but do not directly protect confidentiality from unauthorized access.
Social engineering is a manipulation technique used by attackers to gain unauthorized access to information or systems, making it a threat, not a control, for confidentiality.
