CompTIA Security+ (SY0-401) — Question 16

Pete, the system administrator, wishes to monitor and limit users access to external websites.
Which of the following would BEST address this?

Answer options

• A. Block all traffic on port 80.
• B. Implement NIDS.
• C. Use server load balancers.
• D. Install a proxy server.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as a proxy server can effectively monitor and control user access to external websites by acting as an intermediary. Options A and B do not specifically limit web access, while C is unrelated to user access control, as server load balancers are primarily used for distributing network traffic.
