QuestionQ112

Cybersecurity Principles and Risks

Which of the following is the MOST effective method for preventing man-in-the-middle attacks?

  • A Implementing firewalls on the network
  • B Enabling two-factor authentication
  • C Changing passwords regularly
  • D Implementing end-to-end encryption
Explanation

End-to-end encryption protects data while it travels between communicating endpoints, preventing an intermediary from meaningfully reading or altering the protected communication when the endpoints are authenticated. Firewalls, two-factor authentication, and regular password changes are useful controls but do not directly secure the data path against a man-in-the-middle attacker.
