CompTIA CASP+ (CAS-003) — Question 168

A company has decided to replace all the T-1 uplinks at each regional office and move away from using the existing MPLS network. All regional sites will use high- speed connections and VPNs to connect back to the main campus. Which of the following devices would MOST likely be added at each location?

Answer options

• A. SIEM
• B. IDS/IPS
• C. Proxy server
• D. Firewall
• E. Router

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Firewall, as it is essential for securing the connections between the regional offices and the main campus over VPNs. The other options, while important for network security and management, do not directly facilitate the secure connections needed in this scenario.
