AWS Certified Security – Specialty — Question 11

The Information Technology department has stopped using Classic Load Balancers and switched to Application Load Balancers to save costs. After the switch, some users on older devices are no longer able to connect to the website.
What is causing this situation?

Answer options

• A. Application Load Balancers do not support older web browsers.
• B. The Perfect Forward Secrecy settings are not configured correctly.
• C. The intermediate certificate is installed within the Application Load Balancer.
• D. The cipher suites on the Application Load Balancers are blocking connections.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because Application Load Balancers may use modern cipher suites that are not supported by older devices, leading to connection issues. Option A is incorrect as the problem is not with browser support but rather the security settings. Options B and C do not directly relate to the connectivity issue described.
