Developing Applications and Automating Workflows Using Cisco Platforms (DEVASC) — Question 277

A development team is creating an application used for contactless payments. The application must:
• Be web-based
• Capture and process the credit card information for a purchase.

Which security action must the web application use to gather and process the private customer data?

Answer options

• A. Enable RATs to monitor the web application remotely.
• B. Disable botnets to eliminate risks.
• C. Disable TLS to increase the connection speed.
• D. Enable the encryption of network traffic.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because encrypting network traffic is essential for protecting sensitive data like credit card information during transmission. Options A and B do not address the need for data protection, while C is incorrect as disabling TLS would compromise security rather than enhance it.
