CIPT Exam - Question 96


What risk is mitigated when routing video traffic through a company's application servers, rather than sending the video traffic directly from one user to another?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: C

When routing video traffic through a company's application servers rather than sending it directly from one user to another, the user's approximate physical location is hidden from the other user. By routing through intermediary servers, the originating user's IP address or location information is obscured, providing an extra layer of privacy protection. This method prevents direct visibility of each user's physical location, thereby enhancing user privacy.

C. The user's approximate physical location is hidden from the other user. When routing video traffic through a company's application servers, rather than sending it directly from one user to another (a peer-to-peer approach), one of the risks mitigated is that the user's approximate physical location is hidden from the other user. This is because the traffic is routed through intermediary servers, which can obscure the originating user's IP address or location information, providing an additional layer of privacy protection. This approach helps enhance user privacy by preventing direct visibility of each user's location by other participants in the communication.
