CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-002) — Question 365

Which of the following is the most secure way to protect a final report file when delivering the report to the client/customer?

Answer options

• A. Creating a link on a cloud service and delivering it by email
• B. Asking for a PGP public key to encrypt the file
• C. Requiring FTPS security to download the file
• D. Copying the file on a USB drive and delivering it by postal mail

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer, B, is the most secure option because using PGP encryption ensures that only the intended recipient with the private key can decrypt and access the report. The other options, such as cloud links or USB drives, do not provide the same level of encryption and could expose the file to unauthorized access during transmission or delivery.
