CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 356
An organization is struggling with scaling issues on its VPN concentrator and internet circuit due to remote work. The organization is looking for a software solution that will allow it to reduce traffic on the VPN and internet circuit, while still providing encrypted tunnel access to the data center and monitoring of remote employee internet traffic. Which of the following will help achieve these objectives?
Answer options
- A. Deploying a SASE solution to remote employees
- B. Building a load-balanced VPN solution with redundant internet
- C. Purchasing a low-cost SD-WAN solution for VPN traffic
- D. Using a cloud provider to create additional VPN concentrators
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is A because a SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) solution efficiently reduces VPN traffic by directing remote users' internet traffic directly to the cloud, while still providing secure access to the data center. Options B and D do not effectively address the traffic reduction requirement, and option C focuses on a low-cost solution that may not provide the comprehensive capabilities needed for secure access and monitoring.
