CompTIA Security+ (SY0-401) — Question 17
Which of the following components of an all-in-one security appliance would MOST likely be configured in order to restrict access to peer-to-peer file sharing websites?
Answer options
- A. Spam filter
- B. URL filter
- C. Content inspection
- D. Malware inspection
Correct answer:
Explanation
The URL filter is specifically designed to manage web traffic by blocking or allowing access to certain websites, making it the ideal choice for restricting peer-to-peer file sharing sites. The other options, such as the spam filter, content inspection, and malware inspection, focus on different aspects of security and do not primarily control access to specific URLs.
