A company is implementing a comprehensive data protection strategy. Which of the following approaches provides the BEST protection for data in transit?
Database Access Control Lists
File Integrity Monitoring
Virtual Private Networks
Transport Layer Security (TLS)
The correct answer is Transport Layer Security (TLS), as it provides a secure, encrypted communication channel for data moving between systems. TLS establishes an encrypted connection between endpoints, ensuring confidentiality and integrity of data while it travels across networks.
Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) are good for securing connections but are primarily focused on creating secure tunnels between networks rather than specifically securing data in transit between all types of applications and services.
Database Access Control Lists (ACLs) primarily protect data at rest by controlling who can access the database, not data that is moving between systems.
File integrity monitoring is used to detect unauthorized changes to files (primarily data at rest) but doesn't provide protection for data actively moving between systems.
