CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 537

During a security audit of a company's network, unsecure protocols were found to be in use. A network administrator wants to ensure browser-based access to company switches is using the most secure protocol. Which of the following protocols should be implemented?

Answer options

• A. SSH2
• B. TLS1.2
• C. SSL1.3
• D. SNMPv3

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, TLS1.2, as it is designed to provide secure communication over a computer network, particularly for browser-based access. SSH2 is primarily used for secure shell access, SSL1.3 is not a recognized standard, and SNMPv3 is used for secure network management, but not specifically for browser-based access.
