Certified Information Privacy Technologist (CIPT) — Question 111

What risk is mitigated when routing video traffic through a company's application servers, rather than sending the video traffic directly from one user to another?

Answer options

• A. The user is protected against phishing attacks.
• B. The user's identity is protected from the other user.
• C. The user's approximate physical location is hidden from the other user.
• D. The user is assured that stronger authentication methods have been used.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Routing video traffic through application servers helps ensure that the user's identity is concealed from the other participant, reducing the risk of exposure. Other options, such as phishing protection and location hiding, do not directly relate to the identity protection provided by the server routing method. Stronger authentication methods are also not guaranteed solely by this routing process.
