CertNexus Certified Cyber Secure Coder (CSC) — Question 92

A network administrator has determined that network performance has degraded due to excessive use of social media and Internet streaming services. Which of the following would be effective for limiting access to these types of services, without completely restricting access to a site?

Answer options

• A. Whitelisting
• B. Web content filtering
• C. Network segmentation
• D. Blacklisting

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as web content filtering allows the administrator to control access to specific types of content, such as social media and streaming services, while still permitting access to the sites. Options A and D are not suitable because whitelisting would restrict access to only approved sites, and blacklisting would block specific sites completely. Network segmentation (C) does not inherently control access to web content.
