5. SFTP

Answer 1

The security analyst will implement these two secure protocol to prevent clear text credentials from being transmitted or the internal Network.

• SFTP - The SFTP protocol runs on a secure channel - no clear text passwords or file data are transferred. SFTP stands for "Secure File Transfer Protocol". The Secure File Transfer Protocol ensures that data is securely transferred using a private and safe data stream.

• SSH - The SSH protocol (also referred to as Secure Shell) is a method for secure remote login from one computer to another. It provides several alternative options for strong authentication, and it protects the communications security and integrity with strong encryption. It is a secure alternative to the non-protected login protocols (such as telnet, rlogin) and insecure file transfer methods (such as FTP).
