A user is on a business trip and needs to access a file server on the corporate network. The user's VPN client offers two modes: split tunneling and full tunneling. The user also needs to access local internet resources for research. Which mode is the most secure for protecting corporate data?

Use full tunneling so all traffic goes through the VPN.

Use split tunneling so only corporate traffic goes through the VPN.

Use full tunneling but only for the file server IP address.

Use split tunneling and disable the firewall for local traffic.

A user is at a hotel and connects to the Wi-Fi. The user notices that the network name is exactly the same as the hotel's official network, but the connection is open (no password). The hotel's official network is known to use WPA2. What is the most likely threat?

A rogue hotspot set up by an attacker to intercept traffic.

The user's device is malfunctioning.

The hotel changed its security settings to open.

The hotel is using a guest network with no password.

A user's personal firewall is configured to block all inbound traffic. The user needs to use a VoIP application that requires inbound UDP traffic on port 5060. The user is on a home network. What is the best configuration?

Disable the firewall while using the VoIP application.

Use a VPN for VoIP traffic instead of opening a port.

Create an inbound rule for UDP 5060 from the VoIP provider's IP range only.

Ask the hotel for a private VLAN for the room.

Use HTTPS for the proposal submission website.

Use a VPN to encrypt all traffic between the laptop and the corporate network.
