Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) — Question 95

The security concept of "separation of duties" is most similar to the operation of which type of security device?

Answer options

• A. Firewall
• B. Bastion host
• C. Intrusion Detection System
• D. Honeypot

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as a firewall acts to separate and control different types of network traffic, effectively implementing the principle of separation of duties by managing access controls. The other options, while important in security, do not provide the same level of separation in their operational functionality as a firewall does.
