Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: C
Explanation
OBJ. 7.7 - A proxy-based firewall is the best choice for securing traffic between the public and private cloud environments. It intermediates communication by examining and controlling data at the application level, providing better security and isolation between the two environments. This is particularly useful for hybrid clouds where sensitive data must be protected when interacting with external clients.
