CompTIA Cloud+ (CV1-003) — Question 49

An organization is hosting a cloud-based web server infrastructure that provides web-hosting solutions. Sudden continuous bursts of traffic have caused the web servers to saturate CPU and network utilizations.
Which of the following should be implemented to prevent such disruptive traffic from reaching the web servers?

Answer options

• A. Solutions to perform NAC and DLP
• B. DDoS protection
• C. QoS on the network
• D. A solution to achieve microsegmentation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, DDoS protection, as it specifically helps mitigate and manage excessive traffic intended to disrupt services. Options A and D focus on security and segmentation but do not directly address traffic overload. Option C, QoS, manages bandwidth but isn't primarily designed to prevent DDoS attacks.
