Man-in-the-middle attack definition:
A. Pending
B. Other
Correct Answer: A
Explanation/Reference:
Man-in-the-middle attacks: Someone or something is between the two devices who believe they are communicating directly with each other. The "man in the middle" may be eavesdropping or actively changing the data that is being sent between the two parties. You can prevent this by implementing
Layer 2 dynamic ARP inspection (DAI) and Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) guards to protect spanning tree. You can implement it at Layer 3 by using routing protocol authentication. Authentication of peers in a VPN is also a method of preventing this type of attack.
