VMware vSphere 7.x Delta — Question 4

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 ensuring that the data in transit between VMs is secure. A KMS server (option A) is necessary for managing encryption keys but not directly for the encryption of VMs themselves. Two-factor authentication (option B) enhances security but does not directly relate to VM encryption, and vSAN encryption (option D) pertains to storage-level encryption rather than VM-level encryption.
