CompTIA Security+ study material · question 383 of 611

An organisation places its public web servers between an external and an internal filtering layer. What is this design called, and what does it achieve?

  1. An air gap; the web servers cannot reach the internal network at all
  2. Microsegmentation; each server is isolated from its peers
  3. A jump server; administrative access is centralised
  4. A screened subnet; a compromised public service still faces a boundary before the internal network
Show the answer

Answer: D. A screened subnet; a compromised public service still faces a boundary before the internal network

The internet-facing tier is deliberately expendable, and the second filtering layer contains its compromise.
