The principle of 'Security through Obscurity' is considered effective in which context in cybersecurity?
- It enhances the effectiveness of encryption technologies
- It is effective when the security algorithm is publicly known
- It is effective when the system design is kept secret
- It is not considered effective in modern cybersecurity
'Security through Obscurity' is generally not considered effective in modern cybersecurity. Relying on secrecy for security can lead to vulnerabilities being undiscovered, and once revealed, the system becomes more susceptible to attacks. The preference is for security mechanisms that remain robust even when details about their implementation are known. Recognizing the limitations of this principle is essential in designing secure systems.__________________________________________________
