CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 187

Which of the following security measures is required when using a cloud-based platform for IoT management?

Answer options

• A. Encrypted connection
• B. Federated identity
• C. Firewall
• D. Single sign-on

Correct answer: A

Explanation

An encrypted connection is crucial for protecting data transmitted between IoT devices and the cloud platform, ensuring that sensitive information is not intercepted. While federated identity, firewall, and single sign-on are important security practices, they do not specifically address the necessity for secure communication channels like encryption does.
