CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 447

A company needs to create a new website for the delivery of secure content to and from specific customers. The Chief Information Officer (CIO) states as a requirement the creation of a secure connection between the client's machine and the website every time the content is accessed. This should be accomplished without requiring the installation of any client software. Which of the following should be used in this scenario?

Answer options

• A. Site-to-site VPN
• B. GRE
• C. MPLS
• D. SSL

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is SSL, as it allows for secure communication over the internet without the need for additional software on the client side. Site-to-site VPN requires client software for connection, GRE is a tunneling protocol that does not provide encryption, and MPLS is a routing technique that does not inherently secure content transfers.
