CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 260

Users are attempting to access a company's website but are transparently redirected to another websites. The users confirm the URL is correct. Which of the following would BEST prevent this issue in the future?

Answer options

• A. DNSSEC
• B. HTTPS
• C. IPSec
• D. TLS/SSL

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, DNSSEC, as it provides security extensions to DNS, ensuring that users reach the intended website by preventing DNS spoofing. While HTTPS, IPSec, and TLS/SSL are important for securing data in transit, they do not specifically address the issue of DNS redirection, which is where DNSSEC comes into play.
