SY0-501 Question #490: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

A manager wants to distribute a report to several other managers within the company. Some of them reside in remote locations that are not connected to the domain but have a local server. Because there is sensitive data within the report and the size is beyond the limit of the email attachment size, emailing the report is not an option. Which of the following protocols should be implemented to distribute the report securely? (Select THREE)

Options

• AS/MIME
• BSSH
• CSNMPv3
• DFTPS
• ESRTP
• FHTTPS
• GLDAPS

Explanation

This question tests knowledge of secure file transfer and communication protocols suitable for distributing large files to remote locations without relying on email or domain connectivity.

Common mistakes.

• A. S/MIME (Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) is specifically designed to encrypt and sign email messages, which is not a viable option here since emailing the report is explicitly ruled out due to attachment size limits.
• C. SNMPv3 (Simple Network Management Protocol version 3) is a network device monitoring and management protocol, not a file transfer protocol, so it cannot be used to distribute reports.
• E. SRTP (Secure Real-time Transport Protocol) is designed to encrypt real-time audio and video streaming data, not for file distribution or transfer of documents.
• G. LDAPS (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol Secure) is used for secure directory service queries and authentication against domain controllers, not for file transfer, and would be irrelevant to remote locations not connected to the domain.
