CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 118

A network administrator is concerned about users being exposed to malicious content when accessing company cloud applications. The administrator wants to be able to block access to sites based on the AUP. The users must also be protected because many of them work from home or at remote locations, providing on-site customer support. Which of the following should the administrator employ to meet these criteria?

Answer options

• A. Implement NAC.
• B. Implement an SWG.
• C. Implement a URL filter.
• D. Implement an MDM.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as a Secure Web Gateway (SWG) helps protect users from malicious content by filtering web traffic according to the AUP, ensuring safety for remote workers. Option A, NAC, focuses on network access control, which does not directly block web content. Option C, a URL filter, provides some level of content filtering but lacks the comprehensive security features of an SWG. Option D, MDM, is mainly for managing mobile devices and does not specifically address web content filtering.
