To ensure the privacy and integrity of data as it traverses the public internet, which of the following is the BEST solution for a company connecting its remote office to the headquarters network?
Implementing an integrated cloud-based security and network solution
Activating private session capabilities within the company's intranet
Creating encrypted tunnels between the branch and the main office
Setting up additional access control lists at the network perimeter
Creating encrypted channels over a public network like the internet is essential for protecting sensitive data in transit. A Virtual Private Network (VPN) establishes an encrypted tunnel, which is required to maintain the confidentiality and integrity of data between two points. This technique involves creating a secure path over which data can be sent safely, ensuring that even if intercepted, the data remains unintelligible to unauthorized parties.
Access control lists (ACLs) filter traffic but do not encrypt it.
A cloud-based solution like SASE is a valid architecture, but the core protective technology it would use for this task is an encrypted tunnel.
Intranet capabilities are confined to the internal network and cannot secure traffic over the public internet.
