Question

In order to protect classified encrypted data from disclosure and transmission outside of the Hospital network, you need to choose among the following: proper configuration of DMZ, use of strong encryption algorithms, safeguards over keys. State your selection and justify your choice

Answer 1

For the given scenario, proper configuration of DMZ would be the best choice.

This is because of the nature of DMZ. It is a demilitarized zone. It will act as a buffer between the private network of the hospital and the public network. It is used in the idea of separating the valuable data from the rest of the network. Apart from that it is also used in internal use cases.

Proper configuration of DMZ would include secure SMTP, secure Telnet, and secure FTP along with HTTP.
