CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 466

Which of the following BEST explains why a firewall would be subject to international export controls?

Answer options

• A. Protected industry
• B. IP version incompatibility
• C. Differing power standards
• D. Encryption technology

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Firewalls often utilize encryption technology, which is subject to strict international export regulations due to its potential use in securing sensitive communications. The other options, such as protected industry, IP version incompatibility, and differing power standards, do not directly relate to the legalities surrounding the export of security technologies.
