JNCIA-SEC: Juniper Networks Certified Associate – Security (2021) — Question 21

You want to block executable files (*.exe) from being downloaded onto your network.

Which UTM feature would you use in this scenario?

Answer options

• A. IPS
• B. Web filtering
• C. content filtering
• D. antivirus

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, content filtering, as it specifically allows for the blocking of certain file types, including executable files. While web filtering (B) can manage what content is accessed, it does not specifically target file types for download restrictions. IPS (A) and antivirus (D) are focused on intrusion prevention and detecting malware respectively, but do not block downloads of specific file types.
