CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 280

A systems administrator needs to connect the company’s network to a public cloud services provider. Which of the following BEST ensure encryption in transit for data transfers?

Answer options

• A. Identity federation
• B. A VPN tunnel
• C. A proxy solution
• D. A web application firewall

Correct answer: B

Explanation

A VPN tunnel provides a secure encrypted connection for data in transit between the company network and the cloud service provider, making it the best option for ensuring data security. Identity federation, a proxy solution, and a web application firewall do not inherently provide encryption for data transfers like a VPN does.
