VMware vSphere 7.x Professional (VCP-DCV 2021) — Question 7

An administrator is elevating the security posture of a vSphere environment after a recent data breach. All VMs will be encrypted as part of this plan.
Which additional component is required for the encryption?

Answer options

• A. KMS server
• B. two-factor authentication
• C. encrypted vSphere vMotion
• D. vSAN encryption

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as encrypted vSphere vMotion is essential for securing VM data during migration between hosts. A KMS server (Option A) is needed to manage encryption keys but is not a direct component of VM encryption. Two-factor authentication (Option B) enhances security but does not relate to VM encryption directly, and vSAN encryption (Option D) is specific to storage rather than VM encryption itself.
