CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 267

A security administrator needs to inspect in-transit files on the enterprise network to search for PII, credit card data, and classification words. Which of the following would be the BEST to use?

Answer options

• A. IDS solution
• B. EDR solution
• C. HIPS software solution
• D. Network DLP solution

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Network DLP solution, as it is specifically designed to identify and protect sensitive data during transmission. The other options, such as IDS and EDR solutions, focus on intrusion detection and endpoint security, respectively, but do not provide the same level of data loss prevention capabilities as a DLP solution.
