CompTIA CNX-001 Exam - Topic 1 Question 10 Discussion

A network architect must ensure only certain departments can access specific resources while on premises. Those same users cannot be allowed to access those resources once they have left campus. Which of the following would ensure access is provided according to these requirements?
B) Configuring geofencing with the IPs of the resources
A) Enabling MFA for only those users within the departments needing access
C) Configuring UEBA to monitor all access to those resources during non-business hours
D) Implementing a PKI-based authentication system to ensure access

[All CNX-001 Questions]

A network architect must ensure only certain departments can access specific resources while on premises. Those same users cannot be allowed to access those resources once they have left campus. Which of the following would ensure access is provided according to these requirements?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

By defining an IP-based geofence around the on-premises network addresses where those resources reside, you ensure that only users connecting from inside the campus IP ranges can reach them. As soon as the same users leave that network (and thus fall outside the geofenced IP block), access is automatically denied.

UEBA could help, but it doesn't prevent access, right?

PKI sounds complicated for just access control.

Wait, can geofencing really block access off-campus?

I think MFA alone isn't enough for this scenario.

Implementing a PKI system seems like a solid option, but I wonder if it directly addresses the location-based access requirement.

UEBA sounds interesting, but I’m not sure if monitoring access during non-business hours would actually prevent off-campus access.

I remember practicing a question about access control, and I think MFA alone wouldn’t prevent access off-campus, so it might not be A.

I think geofencing could be the right answer since it restricts access based on location, but I'm not completely sure how it would work with IPs.

I think option B with geofencing is the most straightforward solution here. It would allow the network architect to specifically control access based on the user's location, which is exactly what the question is asking for. I feel confident that this is the best approach for this scenario.

Option C with UEBA monitoring during non-business hours seems like a good way to detect any suspicious activity, but I'm not sure if that fully addresses the requirement of restricting access to only on-premises users. I'll have to weigh the pros and cons of each choice.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm leaning towards option D with a PKI-based authentication system, as that would provide a more secure and granular way to control access. But I'll need to review the details of each option again.

I'm a bit unsure about this one. Option A with MFA could work, but it might be too broad and not specific enough to the departments that need access. I'll have to think this through carefully.

This seems like a straightforward access control question. I think option B, configuring geofencing with the IPs of the resources, would be the best approach to ensure users can only access the resources while on premises.
