which of the following can protect you from having your online session information stolen, as demonstrated earlier in this lesson?

The question is asking which option can protect you from having your online session information stolen, as in a typical session hijacking or cookie theft demonstration.

Because the exact answer choices are not shown, here is the safest and most likely correct type of option to look for:

Most likely correct option

Look for an answer that says something like:

• “Use websites that employ HTTPS (secure connection)”
• “Always use a secure, encrypted connection (https://) instead of http://”
• “Use HTTPS to encrypt traffic and protect your session ID or cookies”

Using HTTPS protects your session information because it encrypts the data between your browser and the website, making it very hard for attackers on the same network to capture your session ID or cookies.

If the options include things like:

• “Use HTTPS / SSL”
• “Use a secure connection when logging in”

then that is almost certainly the correct answer for this type of lesson question.

Other options that might appear

If your multiple‑choice list includes several security behaviors, these are also valid protections against session hijacking, but are usually secondary to HTTPS in this specific kind of demo question:

• Avoid using public Wi‑Fi for sensitive logins
• Log out after finishing a session, especially on shared devices
• Enable multi‑factor authentication (MFA) on accounts

However, when the question refers to “as demonstrated earlier in this lesson” and the demo shows traffic being captured on a network, the primary protective measure they want is almost always “use HTTPS (encrypted connection)” rather than things like “use a strong password” or “change your password often.”

TL;DR:
From typical cybersecurity lessons, the correct choice is usually the one about using HTTPS / a secure, encrypted connection to prevent your online session information from being stolen.
