Bdata filtering profile applied to inbound security policies

Cdata filtering profile applied to outbound security policies

Dvulnerability profile applied to inbound security policies

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

Option B enables the required traffic by allowing SSL and web-browsing from UNTRUST to DMZ, denying SSH from UNTRUST to DMZ, allowing MYSQL from DMZ to SERVER, and allowing SSH from SERVER to DMZ. Option A allows SSH from UNTRUST to DMZ, which is not required. Option C denies all the required traffic.Option D denies all traffic from UNTRUST to TRUST, which is irrelevant to the question

I'm with Kirby on this one. The data filtering profile seems like the best way to catch that sneaky C2 traffic.

Haha, I bet the vulnerability profile (D) is gonna be the one that stops the infection. Gotta love those security profiles!

I'm not so sure about that. The antivirus profile applied to outbound security policies (A) might also be able to detect and block the malware traffic.

Hmm, I think the correct answer is C. The data filtering profile applied to outbound security policies would be able to detect and prevent the infected host from contacting the C2 server.
