CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 52

A network technician has implemented ACLs to limit access to cloud-based file storage. Which of the following security mechanisms has the technician enforced?

Answer options

• A. DLP
• B. IDS
• C. WAF
• D. WPA
• E. TPM

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, WAF (Web Application Firewall), which is designed to protect web applications by filtering and monitoring HTTP traffic. The other options do not directly relate to limiting access to web-based file storage: DLP (Data Loss Prevention) focuses on preventing data breaches, IDS (Intrusion Detection System) monitors for security breaches, WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) secures wireless networks, and TPM (Trusted Platform Module) provides hardware-based security functions.
