CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 228

A network manager is concerned that business may be negatively impacted if the firewall in its data center goes offline. The manager would like to implement a high availability pair to:

Answer options

• A. decrease the mean time between failures.
• B. remove the single point of failure.
• C. cut down the mean time to repair.
• D. reduce the recovery time objective.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because implementing a high availability pair ensures that if one firewall fails, the other can take over, thus eliminating the single point of failure. Options A, C, and D do not directly address the primary concern of maintaining continuous operation and reducing downtime due to a single point of failure.
