Asset - Correct Answer ✅ An _____ is an item that is to be
protected and can include property, people, and

tunnel their peer-to-peer traffic inside of HTTP traffic. An
attacker may use a similar technique to hide traffic by

collecting keystroke information from the workstation and
then slowly sending it out disguised as Internet Control
Message Protocol (ICMP). This is a _____________.
