ITPEC IP April 2024 Question 44
ITPEC IP April 2024 — Question 44 of 100
Only statement B is a defining feature of a VPN. A virtual private network creates a protected logical connection over shared infrastructure such as the Internet, allowing remote users or separated sites to communicate as though they were connected through a private company network. Tunneling, encryption, and authentication commonly protect the traffic.
Statement A describes direct wireless ad hoc communication without an access point, not a VPN. Statement C may describe a separate network-access-control or endpoint-compliance function; merely connecting a computer to a VPN does not inherently check its security status.
Answer (c)
Why not others: (a) and (b) include false statement A, while (d) selects false statement C.
Key rule: VPN refers to a virtual private communication path built across another network; it is not a radio topology or an automatic endpoint inspection system.
