Salesforce MuleSoft MuleSoft-Integration-Architect-I Question # 18 Topic 2 Discussion

An application load balancer routes requests to a RESTful web API secured by Anypoint Flex Gateway using the HTTPS protocol. HTTPS (HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure) ensures that the communication between the load balancer and the gateway is encrypted and secure, protecting the data from eavesdropping and tampering. HTTPS is the standard protocol for secure communication over the internet, especially for APIs handling sensitive data.
