C seems extreme, not sure about that one.

Totally agree, higher key size means more CPU load.

Wait, does a 4096-bit key really decrease TPS that much?

I recall something about TLS renegotiation, but I don't think it directly relates to the key size change. I feel like options A and C might be the right choices here.

I practiced a similar question about key sizes and performance, and I think the increase in CPU usage is definitely a factor, but I'm not sure about the TPS decrease.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like increasing the key size might impact the transactions per second. Maybe options B or C could be correct?

I remember studying how key sizes affect CPU usage, so I think option A makes sense since a 4096-bit key would require more processing power.

I feel pretty confident about this one. The COBIT 2019 governance system design workflow is all about considering various design factors to develop a customized governance system. Option A seems to capture that best, so I'll go with that.

I have a vague memory that the Service Perimeter Guard actually adds another layer of security, which makes me question if it might be "False."

I think the GatewayDiagnosticLog would be the best place to start. It should give me insights into any issues with the VPN gateway itself.
