CompTIA CASP+ (CAS-004) — Question 136

A security engineer needs to implement a CASB to secure employee user web traffic. A key requirement is that the relevant event data must be collected from existing on-premises infrastructure components and consumed by the CASB to expand traffic visibility. The solution must be highly resilient to network outages.
Which of the following architectural components would BEST meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Log collection
• B. Reverse proxy
• C. A WAF
• D. API mode

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct choice is A, Log collection, as it allows for the gathering of event data from existing infrastructure, which is essential for visibility. Options B, C, and D do not focus on collecting data from on-premises components and may not provide the required resilience against network outages.
