Topic #: 2
[All WGU (QGC2) Information Technology Management Questions]

What is an advantage of using a trusted third party to confirm correlations between users and public keys in disaster recovery planning?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Role of a Trusted Third Party:

Trusted third parties, like Certificate Authorities (CAs), validate the correlation between users and public keys.

They ensure secure communication by providing authentication (verifying user identity) and authorization (granting access rights).

Advantages in Disaster Recovery Planning:

Simplifies secure communication during recovery processes.

Provides a trusted mechanism for verifying identities and preventing unauthorized access.

Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

Option A (Monitors enclosures): Not related to public key verification.

Option B (Protects against encrypted attacks): While encryption enhances security, it is not the purpose of a trusted third party.

Option D (Features full-time monitoring): Not a function of trusted third parties like CAs.

I feel like the answer might be about protecting against attacks, but that doesn't seem to fit with the question about correlations.

This seems straightforward to me. The trusted third party provides authentication and authorization services, which is crucial for disaster recovery when you need to verify user identities and access. I'm confident C is the right answer here.

Okay, I've got this. The advantage is that a trusted third party can confirm the correlation between users and their public keys. This helps protect against attacks and ensures the integrity of the recovery process. I'm going with C.

I'm a bit confused by the wording of the question. Is it asking about the advantages of using a third party, or specifically in the context of disaster recovery planning? I'll need to think this through carefully.

Hmm, I think this is asking about the benefits of using a third-party service to verify user identities and public keys. Option C seems like the best answer - it provides authentication and authorization, which is important for disaster recovery.
