Certified Network Defender (CND) — Question 156
To provide optimum security while enabling safe/necessary services, blocking known dangerous services, and making employees accountable for their online activity, what Internet Access policy would Brian, the network administrator, have to choose?
Answer options
- A. Prudent policy
- B. Paranoid policy
- C. Promiscuous policy
- D. Permissive policy
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The Prudent policy is designed to balance security with functionality by allowing necessary services while blocking harmful ones. The other options either focus too much on restriction (Paranoid policy), enable excessive access (Promiscuous policy), or allow too much freedom without adequate controls (Permissive policy), which does not meet the security requirements.
