CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 38

A small company has decided to use a single virtual appliance to filter spam as well as reverse proxy and filter traffic to its internal web server. Which of the following has the company MOST likely deployed?

Answer options

• A. IPS
• B. Firewall
• C. SIEM
• D. UTM
• E. Content filter

Correct answer: E

Explanation

The correct answer is E, as a Content filter is specifically designed to manage and filter web content, including spam. While a UTM (D) might also provide similar functionalities, it typically encompasses a broader range of security features beyond just content filtering. IPS (A), Firewall (B), and SIEM (C) do not primarily focus on the filtering of spam and traffic management for web servers.
