Explanation

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) tunnel encrypts all data in transit between two endpoints - in this case, the company's on-premises network and the public cloud provider. VPNs use protocols like IPsec or TLS to establish an encrypted channel, ensuring that data cannot be intercepted or read as it traverses the public internet. Identity federation (A) handles authentication and SSO but does not encrypt network traffic. A proxy solution (C) routes and filters traffic but does not inherently encrypt it. A web application firewall (D) inspects and filters HTTP/S traffic for threats but is not designed to provide general-purpose encryption in transit for data transfers between networks.
