Developing Applications Using Cisco Core Platforms and APIs (DEVCOR) — Question 393

How does TLS security address data privacy concerns regarding the storage and transmission of data?

Answer options

• A. It requires additional levels of network authorization.
• B. It requires additional levels of user authentication.
• C. It enables confidentiality of data at rest.
• D. It enables confidentiality of data in transit.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because TLS (Transport Layer Security) specifically provides encryption that protects data while it is transmitted over networks, ensuring its confidentiality during transit. Options A and B are incorrect as they refer to authorization and authentication, which are not the primary functions of TLS. Option C is also incorrect because TLS does not provide confidentiality for data at rest; it focuses on data in transit.
