Explanation

The critical detail in this scenario is that backup data travels over a third-party, untrusted network to reach the backup data center. This means the data is exposed to potential interception, eavesdropping, or tampering by parties outside the organization's control. Encryption protects data in transit, ensuring that even if traffic is intercepted, it cannot be read or modified. Replication, deduplication, and compression are all useful features for a backup solution, but none of them protect the confidentiality or integrity of data on an untrusted network. Labeling is purely organizational. When the network is untrusted, encryption is the non-negotiable, most important requirement.
