VMware Carbon Black Cloud Endpoint Standard Fundamentals — Question 12

Network Security teams can leverage Micro-Segmentation for which purpose?

Answer options

• A. deny attackers the possibility to breach the data center perimeter
• B. deny attackers the opportunity to move laterally within the internal network
• C. replace the need to leverage traditional network segmentation
• D. prevent a successful attack to any of the systems attached to the network

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because Micro-Segmentation allows for more granular control within the internal network, effectively limiting lateral movement by attackers. Option A is incorrect as Micro-Segmentation does not directly secure the perimeter. Option C is misleading since Micro-Segmentation complements rather than replaces traditional segmentation. Option D is incorrect because while Micro-Segmentation enhances security, it cannot guarantee that all attacks will be prevented.
