CISSP – Information Systems Security Architecture Professional (ISSAP) — Question 58

You work as a Network Consultant. A company named Tech Perfect Inc. hires you for security reasons. The manager of the company tells you to establish connectivity between clients and servers of the network which prevents eavesdropping and tampering of data on the Internet. Which of the following will you configure on the network to perform the given task?

Answer options

• A. WEP
• B. IPsec
• C. VPN
• D. SSL

Correct answer: D

Explanation

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is designed to encrypt data during transmission, preventing eavesdropping and tampering, making it the correct choice. WEP is outdated and insecure, IPsec is more suited for securing IP communications rather than specifically for web traffic, and while VPNs provide secure connections, SSL is directly focused on securing data in transit.
