CompTIA CASP+ (CAS-003) — Question 160
An organization just merged with an organization in another legal jurisdiction and must improve its network security posture in ways that do not require additional resources to implement data isolation. One recommendation is to block communication between endpoint PCs. Which of the following would be the BEST solution?
Answer options
- A. Installing HIDS
- B. Configuring a host-based firewall
- C. Configuring EDR
- D. Implementing network segmentation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The best solution is D, implementing network segmentation, as it effectively isolates network segments to prevent communication between endpoint PCs. The other options, such as installing HIDS or configuring a host-based firewall, may enhance security but do not specifically address the requirement to block communication between endpoints.
