CompTIA CASP+ (CAS-004) — Question 541

A major broadcasting company that requires continuous availability to streaming content needs to be resilient against DDoS attacks. Which of the following Is the MOST important infrastructure security design element to prevent an outage?

Answer options

• A. Supporting heterogeneous architecture
• B. Leveraging content delivery network across multiple regions
• C. Ensuring cloud autoscaling is in place
• D. Scaling horizontally to handle increases in traffic

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Leveraging a content delivery network (CDN) across multiple regions is essential for distributing traffic and mitigating the impact of DDoS attacks, making it the most important element. The other options, while beneficial for performance and scalability, do not provide the same level of direct protection against DDoS threats as a well-implemented CDN.
