FC0-U61 · Question #276

Which of the following connections provide data with the MOST secure protection from interception?

The correct answer is A. Wired. Wired connections provide the most secure protection from data interception compared to wireless options because physical access is generally required to tap into the transmission.

Why each option

Wired connections provide the most secure protection from data interception compared to wireless options because physical access is generally required to tap into the transmission.

AWiredCorrect

Wired connections, such as Ethernet, physically transmit data through cables, making them inherently more secure against casual interception than wireless methods because an attacker needs direct physical access to the cable.

BWiFi

WiFi connections transmit data wirelessly through radio waves, making them susceptible to interception by anyone within range using appropriate equipment, even with encryption.

CIR

IR (Infrared) connections transmit data wirelessly using infrared light, which is highly directional but still vulnerable to line-of-sight interception if an attacker places a receiver in the path.

DCellular

Cellular connections transmit data wirelessly over mobile networks, which can be intercepted, although modern cellular networks employ strong encryption.
