Understanding Cisco Cybersecurity Operations Fundamentals (CBROPS) — Question 162

Why is HTTPS traffic difficult to screen?

Answer options

• A. HTTPS is used internally and screening traffic for external parties is hard due to isolation.
• B. Digital certificates secure the session, and the data is sent at random intervals.
• C. Traffic Is tunneled to a specific destination and is inaccessible to others except for the receiver.
• D. The communication is encrypted and the data in transit is secured.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because HTTPS encrypts the data being transmitted, ensuring that only the intended recipient can decrypt and read it. Options A, B, and C do not accurately describe the primary reason why HTTPS traffic is difficult to screen, as they focus on other aspects that do not directly relate to the encryption of the communication.
