CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 837

A company is planning to build an internal website that allows for access to outside contracts and partners. A majority of the content will only be available to internal employees with the option to share.
Which of the following concepts is MOST appropriate?

Answer options

• A. VPN
• B. Proxy
• C. DMZ
• D. Extranet

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Extranet, as it allows controlled access to external users while primarily serving internal employees. A VPN (A) provides secure remote access but does not inherently manage external sharing. A Proxy (B) acts as an intermediary for requests but does not offer a structured access model for external partners. A DMZ (C) is a security buffer but does not specifically cater to the sharing of internal resources with external entities.
