Certified Data Privacy Solutions Engineer (CDPSE) — Question 3

Which of the following MOST effectively protects against the use of a network sniffer?

Answer options

• A. Network segmentation
• B. Transport layer encryption
• C. An intrusion detection system (IDS)
• D. A honeypot environment

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Transport layer encryption is the most effective means of protecting data from being intercepted by network sniffers, as it encrypts the data in transit. Network segmentation, an IDS, and a honeypot can enhance security, but they do not directly prevent data from being captured during transmission.
