CompTIA ITF+ (FC0-U61) — Question 228

Which of the following best protects data in transit?

Answer options

• A. Backup tapes
• B. Encrypted flash drive
• C. VPN connection
• D. FTP

Correct answer: C

Explanation

A VPN connection provides a secure tunnel for data as it travels across networks, protecting it from interception. Backup tapes and encrypted flash drives are used for storage rather than transmission, and FTP does not offer encryption, making it less secure for data in transit.
