they should be aware that not all their communications are private. if they want to be sure that third parties cannot view their communications, they should make sure that their messages are

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the context:

1. For the first blank: When employees use company resources (equipment/network), they leave a digital footprint (or similar term related to traces of their activity). This is about the trace left in a digital/company network context.
2. For the second blank: To prevent third parties from viewing communications, messages should be encrypted (or a term for secure, private communication like "secure" or "encrypted"—"encrypted" is precise for privacy in tech).

Assuming typical options (e.g., first dropdown: "digital footprint", second: "encrypted"):

• First blank: Employees using company systems leave a digital footprint (trace of their activity).
• Second blank: To keep communications private from third parties, messages should be encrypted (secured so others can’t view).

Answer:

First dropdown: digital footprint (or relevant option).
Second dropdown: encrypted (or relevant privacy - ensuring option).

(Note: Since the exact dropdown options aren’t provided, the above is based on typical IT ethics vocabulary. If options were, e.g., first: "digital footprint", "paper trail"; second: "encrypted", "public"—the correct would be "digital footprint" and "encrypted".)
