CV0-002 · Question #390

A database administrator is configuring an alternate site to replicate the data between the two sites. Which of the following is used to protect against eavesdropping across the network?

The correct answer is B. Data-in-transit encryption. To protect sensitive data from unauthorized viewing while it is being transferred across a network, encryption techniques must be applied to the data stream.

Why each option

To protect sensitive data from unauthorized viewing while it is being transferred across a network, encryption techniques must be applied to the data stream.

AVirtual local area network

A virtual local area network (VLAN) segments network traffic logically but does not inherently encrypt the data packets to protect against eavesdropping.

BData-in-transit encryptionCorrect

Data-in-transit encryption protects information as it travels between systems over a network, making it unreadable to unauthorized parties who might intercept the data during replication and thus directly preventing eavesdropping.

CAccess control list

An access control list (ACL) manages network traffic flow and access permissions based on rules, but it does not encrypt the content of the data packets.

DData-at-rest encryption

Data-at-rest encryption protects data while it is stored on a disk or other storage medium but does not secure the data as it is being transmitted across the network.
