What type of security protocol is used to protect data in transit?

  1. SSH

  2. SSM

  3. SSL

  4. TLS

The correct answer is: SSL

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is the correct answer because it is a security protocol that is used to establish a secure and encrypted connection between a web server and a web browser. This helps to keep the data in transit between these two points safe from being accessed by unauthorized parties. Option A (SSH) stands for Secure Shell and is primarily used for secure remote access to servers and network devices, not for protecting data in transit. Option B (SSM) is not a recognized security protocol. Option D (TLS) is technically correct as it is a newer and more secure version of SSL, however, SSL is still commonly used and TLS is often used synonymously with SSL in everyday language. Therefore, SSL is the most specific and accurate answer for this question.
