Secure communication protocols form the backbone of protected digital environments. In this episode, we explore widely used secure protocols like HTTPS, SSH, SFTP, and SNMPv3. You’ll learn how each one provides confidentiality, integrity, and authentication for various types of data exchanges—from web traffic and file transfers to remote administration and device management. We cover protocol strengths, configuration tips, and common pitfalls. CISSPs must understand which protocols are appropriate for specific use cases and how to deploy them effectively in enterprise environments.
