CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 844

A manager wants to distribute a report to several other managers within the company. Some of them reside in remote locations that are not connected to the domain but have a local server. Because there is sensitive data within the report and the size of the report is beyond the limit of the email attachment size, emailing the report is not an option. Which of the following protocols should be implemented to distribute the report securely? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. S/MIME
• B. SSH
• C. SNMPv3
• D. FTPS
• E. SRTP
• F. HTTPS
• G. LDAPS

Correct answer: B, D, F

Explanation

SSH (B) provides a secure channel for transferring files over a network, while FTPS (D) allows secure file transfers using FTP with SSL/TLS. HTTPS (F) is also secure for transferring data over the web. The other options either do not focus on file transfer security or are not applicable for this scenario.
