CompTIA ITF+ (FC0-U61) — Question 138

A technician is concerned that sensitive data transmitted over the Internet can be intercepted and viewed during a MITM attack. Which of the following should the technician enable to reduce the risk?

Answer options

• A. DLP
• B. ACL
• C. TLS
• D. IPS

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Enabling TLS (Transport Layer Security) encrypts data transmitted over the Internet, making it difficult for attackers to intercept and read the information. DLP (Data Loss Prevention) focuses on preventing data leaks but does not specifically encrypt data in transit. ACL (Access Control List) manages permissions and IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) detects and prevents attacks, but neither directly addresses the encryption of data during transmission.
