The Chief Information Officer of a financial services company wants to ensure stringent security measures are maintained while migrating customer financial information from a private cloud to the publ

An ACL restricts access to resources based on rules but does not encrypt data in transit, so it cannot prevent the unauthorized disclosure of data as it moves across the network.

A VPN establishes a cryptographically authenticated and encrypted tunnel over the network, preventing unauthorized parties from reading or tampering with customer financial data in transit during the migration. It directly fulfills the requirement for automated validation and verification checks against unauthorized disclosure, as all traffic through the tunnel is authenticated and encrypted end-to-end.

P2V (Physical to Virtual) is a technique for converting physical machine workloads into virtual machine images and has no relevance to securing data transmission between cloud environments.

VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) delivers virtualized desktop sessions to end users and does not address the security of data moving between cloud environments.
