You are designing a hybrid cloud solution where sensitive data must be transferred between your...

Requirement Analysis: The solution needs a private, high-bandwidth, low-latency connection (provided by FastConnect) with encryption for data confidentiality.

Option A (IPSec VPN): IPSec encrypts traffic at Layer 3 over public or private networks. While feasible over FastConnect, it’s redundant since FastConnect is already private, adding unnecessary overhead and complexity.

Option B (OCI Vault): Vault manages encryption keys and secrets but doesn’t encrypt traffic itself—only supports application-level encryption, not link-level—incorrect.

Option C (MACsec): MACsec (Media Access Control Security) provides Layer 2 encryption for Ethernet traffic, ideal for securing FastConnect’s dedicated link directly between devices, ensuring confidentiality without higher-layer overhead—correct.

Option D (OCI Bastion): Bastion secures remote access to VCN resources, not link encryption—incorrect.

Conclusion: MACsec enhances FastConnect with efficient, link-level encryption, meeting all requirements.

Oracle documentation states:

"MACsec provides Layer 2 encryption for FastConnect, securing Ethernet traffic between on-premises and OCI infrastructure. It’s ideal for ensuring confidentiality over dedicated connections."This supports Option C as the best additional product.
