A cybersecurity firm has been hired by an organization to perform penetration tests. The tests require a secure method of transferring data over a network. Which two protocols could be used to accomplish this task? (Choose two.)
- SCP
- HTTPS
- SFTP
- PGP
- S/MIME
| Explanation & Hints:
Protocols such as Secure Copy Protocol (SCP) or Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) can be used by penetration testers to transfer files securely over the network. Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) keys or Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME) keys can be used for encrypted email exchanges. Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is the secure version of HTTP that provides secure communication between web browsers and web servers.
