CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 202

An engineer wants to inspect traffic to a cluster of web servers in a cloud environment. Which of the following solutions should the engineer implement?

Answer options

• A. CASB
• B. WAF
• C. Load balancer
• D. VPN

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is WAF (Web Application Firewall) because it is designed to monitor and filter HTTP traffic to and from web applications, making it suitable for inspecting traffic to web servers. The other options, such as CASB, load balancer, and VPN, serve different purposes and do not focus specifically on traffic inspection for web applications.
