NSE 7 – OT Security 7.2 — Question 34

What is the primary objective of implementing SD-WAN in operational technology (ОТ) networks?

Answer options

• A. Replace standard links with lower cost connections
• B. Enhance network performance of ОТ applications
• C. Reduce security risk and threat attacks
• D. Remove centralized network security policies.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the primary purpose of SD-WAN is to optimize the performance of OT applications by improving bandwidth and reducing latency. Options A, C, and D, while potentially relevant to network management, do not directly address the core objective of enhancing the performance of OT applications.
