CompTIA SecurityX (CAS-005) — Question 257

A global manufacturing company has an internal application that is critical to making products. This application cannot be updated and must be available in the production area. A security architect is implementing security for the application. Which of the following best describes the action the architect should take?

Answer options

• A. Disallow wireless access to the application.
• B. Deploy intrusion detection capabilities using a network tap
• C. Create an acceptable use policy for the use of the application
• D. Create a separate network for users who need access to the application

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because creating a separate network can help isolate the application from other systems, reducing the risk of unauthorized access and potential security breaches. Options A and B, while important, do not address the need for a dedicated environment, and C does not provide the necessary technical security measures for the application.
