Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK) — Question 180

Which SDP component terminates network traffic and enforces communication policies?

Answer options

• A. Client
• B. Access Manager
• C. Gateway
• D. Firewall
• E. Controller

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The Gateway is the component that terminates network traffic and enforces communication policies, making it essential for controlling access to resources. The Client primarily initiates requests, the Access Manager handles user access permissions, the Firewall is focused on filtering traffic rather than enforcing policies at the SDP level, and the Controller manages the overall system but does not directly terminate traffic.
