Symantec Endpoint Security Complete TA Technical Assessment — Question 11

When a browser is configured to use an explicit proxy connection to the ProxySG, incoming HTTPS traffic from that browser is intercepted by which proxy service?

Answer options

• A. SSL
• B. HTTPS
• C. TCP Tunnel
• D. Explicit HTTP

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as the HTTPS proxy service is specifically designed to handle incoming HTTPS traffic. Options A (SSL) and D (Explicit HTTP) do not intercept traffic in the same way, and C (TCP Tunnel) relates to a different type of connection method that bypasses proxy services for HTTPS traffic.
