Answers
D.
East-West traffic uses IPv6 which is less secure than IPv4
Suggested answer: A

Explanation:

East-West traffic is the lateral movement of data packets between servers within a data center, or across private and public clouds1.This type of traffic has grown substantially with the proliferation of data centers and cloud adoption, and it now surpasses the conventional North-South traffic that goes in or out of the network2.Therefore, it is important to protect East-West traffic from potential malicious actors and breaches, as threats can arise internally and move laterally without ever touching the traditional network perimeter12.By inspecting and monitoring all East-West traffic, organizations can effectively block the lateral movement of threat actors, increase network visibility, protect vital applications and data, and lower costs and risks for distributed operations23.Reference:
