Audit Connected FAT32 and ExFAT Drives

Descripción

While FAT32 and exFAT offer cross-platform convenience, they introduce critical security gaps. These formats do not support encryption without third-party products (on any platform). Consequently, FAT32 and exFAT should be reserved strictly for temporary, non-sensitive data transfers, while any sustained use or sensitive data storage should utilize APFS (Encrypted).
