CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 267

A company wants to implement data loss prevention by restricting user access to social media platforms and personal cloud storage on workstations. Which of the following types of filtering should the company deploy to achieve these goals?

Answer options

• A. Port
• B. DNS
• C. MAC
• D. Content

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Content filtering, as it allows organizations to block access to specific types of content, such as social media and personal cloud services. Port filtering restricts access based on communication ports, DNS filtering resolves domain names but does not control access to specific content types, and MAC filtering controls access based on device addresses rather than content.
