A company wants to secure proprietary information that employees must access while working remotely. Which method would be the optimal solution to protect this information as it travels across potentially unsecured networks?
Deploy an automated system for threat detection and response on the company's network.
Configure network rules to manage which data packets are permitted to travel to and from the remote employees.
Implement encryption on specific web services accessible to employees.
Establish a secure connection using encryption for data exchange between systems.
Ensure password-validated access is required to view sensitive documents.
Creating a secure tunnel using an encrypted connection ensures that sensitive information remains confidential and unaltered while it travels between the company network and remote employees. This method shields the data from potential eavesdroppers and attackers who might be present on public or unsecured networks. Employing encryption solely on certain web services does not encompass all varieties of data transfer and will not provide comprehensive protection for all data types in transit. Similarly, allowing password-validated access to information lacks encryption and fails to secure the data in transit. Although important for catching hostile traffic, implementing an automated threat detection system focuses on identifying and managing threats rather than encrypting data transfers. Establishing rules to regulate network traffic flow is critical to network security but does not address the need to encrypt data to maintain its confidentiality and integrity while in transit.
