You've made it to question 235 and somehow still think mods are actively fixing material? haha they don't care as long as we keep forking money over for a test they probably got from another site, but we have the benefit of open discussion. Other than that I think we are SOL in regards to material correctness.

B. EV certificate F. HSTS B. The company should implement an Extended Validation (EV) certificate for the new website. This certificate provides the highest form of web identity validation, ensuring that the company's identity is thoroughly vetted and verified by the certificate authority. F. The company should also implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS). HSTS enforces the use of HTTPS, ensuring that all web transactions are encrypted and providing the strongest encryption in-transit. It also helps to protect against downgrade attacks and cookie hijacking.

Selected Answer: F
F. HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security): HSTS enforces the use of secure connections by instructing browsers to always connect to a website over HTTPS. This ensures encryption of all web transactions and provides the strongest encryption in-transit. It helps prevent downgrade attacks and enhances overall security.

B&F B. EV certificate - Extended Validation (EV) certificate is the highest form of web identity validation that provides users with visual cues, such as a green address bar, to confirm the website's authenticity. EV certificates require rigorous validation of the organization's identity before issuance and provide the highest level of trust and security. F. HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security) - HSTS is a web security policy that enforces the use of HTTPS, which encrypts all web transactions, and the strongest encryption in-transit, to protect against data interception and tampering. HSTS also helps prevent downgrade attacks that attempt to force the use of unencrypted HTTP.
