Which of the following is a PRIMARY security concern when implementing multi-layered network protocols?
- A Packet fragmentation can allow attackers to bypass security controls.

Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: A
Explanation
OBJ. 4.1 - When network packets are fragmented or encapsulated within multiple protocol layers, security controls such as firewalls and intrusion detection systems may fail to properly inspect the traffic, allowing attackers to hide malicious payloads. Encapsulation can enhance security but also creates blind spots in network monitoring. For support or reporting issues, include Question ID: 67d9680356817fab03c8a8b4 in your ticket.
