CompTIA ITF+ (FC0-U61) — Question 273

Which of the following is the BEST method to protect data in transit?

Answer options

• A. AES encryption
• B. Network-level encryption
• C. Disk-level encryption
• D. Column-level encryption

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Network-level encryption is the most effective way to protect data in transit as it secures data as it travels across networks. While AES encryption is a strong encryption method, it is typically applied to data at rest or in specific applications rather than during transmission. Disk-level and column-level encryption are focused on data storage rather than the protection of data while it is being transmitted.
