CompTIA CASP+ (CAS-004) — Question 30

Due to locality and budget constraints, an organization's satellite office has a lower bandwidth allocation than other offices in the organization. As a result, the local security infrastructure staff is assessing architectural options that will help preserve network bandwidth and increase speed to both internal and external resources while not sacrificing threat visibility.
Which of the following would be the BEST option to implement?

Answer options

• A. Distributed connection allocation
• B. Local caching
• C. Content delivery network
• D. SD-WAN vertical heterogeneity

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Local caching is the best option because it allows frequently accessed data to be stored locally, reducing the amount of bandwidth needed for repeated requests and speeding up access times. The other options do not specifically address the need for immediate data accessibility while conserving bandwidth; for instance, a Content Delivery Network (CDN) primarily focuses on delivering content efficiently over the internet but may not provide the same level of local speed enhancement as caching.
