CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 341

An enterprise security team is researching a new security architecture to better protect the company’s networks and applications against the latest cyberthreats. The company has a fully remote workforce. The solution should be highly redundant and enable users to connect to a VPN with an integrated, software-based firewall. Which of the following solutions meets these requirements?

Answer options

• A. IPS
• B. SIEM
• C. SASE
• D. CASB

Correct answer: C

Explanation

SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) is designed to provide secure remote access with integrated security services, including VPN and firewall functionalities, making it ideal for a fully remote workforce. IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) and SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) do not offer VPN capabilities directly, while CASB (Cloud Access Security Broker) focuses on securing cloud services rather than providing a comprehensive security architecture for remote access.
