QuestionQ100

Privacy in Technology

Which risk is reduced by routing video traffic through a company’s application servers instead of sending the video traffic directly between two users?

  • A The user is protected against phishing attacks.
  • B The user's identity is protected from the other user.
  • C The user's approximate physical location is hidden from the other user.
  • D The user is assured that stronger authentication methods have been used.
Explanation

Direct peer-to-peer video connectivity can expose a participant’s IP address to the remote participant. Because an IP address can be used to infer approximate location, relaying the traffic through company servers hides that network address from the other user and mitigates location disclosure.
