Who would be responsible for implementing IPsec to secure communications for an application?
IPsec, which stands for Internet Protocol Security, operates at the network layer. Its implementation typically involves configuring network devices, firewalls, and operating systems to establish secure communications channels. This type of configuration and maintenance is usually performed by systems staff, who are responsible for the underlying network and system infrastructure. Developers focus on creating application-level functionality and security, while auditors review and verify the security measures. Cloud customers can specify security requirements but do not typically implement network-level security protocols themselves.
What is system staff? Are they part of Cloud Customers?
I agree that the naming is confusing, but I guess this is what happens in the real exam!!! Sometimes you can get the answer but elimination, but for that you need to have a clear knowledge of the other 3 options.
administrators = systems staff. IPSec, as far as I know, is provided at the system level, so it needs to be done by an admin.
B. Systems staff
Implementing IPsec involves configuring network-level security policies and ensuring proper encryption, authentication, and key management for data in transit. This task generally falls under the responsibilities of systems or network administrators, not developers, auditors, or the cloud customer.
