Free CompTIA A+ 220-1102 Practice Question

The correct answer is 'Use strong encryption protocols such as AES-256 for the connection.' Strong encryption protocols like AES-256 (Advanced Encryption Standard with 256-bit keys) ensure that the data transmitted over the connection is secure and less vulnerable to attacks. 'Requiring multifactor authentication' is a good practice but does not pertain specifically to securing the communication channel itself. 'Using outdated encryption protocols like DES' is not secure as DES (Data Encryption Standard) is considered weak. 'Allowing split tunneling without restriction' can expose the network to security risks if users can access potentially insecure external networks while connected.
