Question 1

A security administrator is creating a security zone for a new web server within their company network. Which of the following security zones would be the BEST choice for web servers?

Correct Answer: DMZ

A DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) is the best choice for public-facing web servers. This is because DMZs are designed to provide external access to services and resources while maintaining an isolated internal network, reducing the risk of attackers accessing sensitive internal data.

Question 2

A network administrator is implementing security zones to separate production environments from test environments. What type of security zone would be MOST appropriate for test environments?

Correct Answer: Private VLAN

A Private VLAN is the most appropriate security zone for test environments because it enables the separation of production and test environments while also providing network segmentation and isolation, thus preventing unauthorized traffic between them.

Question 3

A company wants to provide remote access to employees while ensuring that internal resources are protected. Which security zone should be used to separate the remote access environment from the internal network?

Correct Answer: VPN

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) security zone should be used for remote access as it provides a secure, encrypted connection between remote users and the internal network. This ensures that internal resources are protected from external threats.
