Questions and Answers

What is the primary idea behind the perimeter-based security architecture?

  • To trust devices inside the network and not trust devices outside (correct)
  • To provide unlimited access to external users and devices
  • To trust all devices equally both inside and outside the network
  • To restrict access to all corporate resources

Which components protect the network perimeter in a perimeter-based security architecture?

  • Cloud services, Proxy servers, Malware scanners
  • Antivirus software, VPN, Data Encryption
  • Intrusion Prevention System, DLP, Load Balancers
  • Firewalls, IDS, DMZ (correct)

What is the purpose of using VPN in a perimeter-based security architecture?

  • To monitor all traffic within the network
  • To limit access to corporate resources for all users
  • To provide secure remote access to external users and devices (correct)
  • To block external access to the network
