CISA Certified Information Systems Auditor – Question1477
An organization has created a policy that defines the types of web sites that users are forbidden to access. What is the MOST effective technology to enforce this policy? A. Stateful inspection firewall B. Web content filter C. Web cache server D. Proxy server
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation:
A web content filter accepts or denies web communications according to the configured rules. To help the administrator properly configure the tool, organizations and vendors have made available URL blacklists and classifications for millions of web sites. A stateful inspection firewall is of little help in filtering web traffic since it does not review the content of the web site nor does it take into consideration the sites classification. A web cache server is designed to improve the speed of retrieving the most common or recently visited web pages. A proxy server is incorrect because a proxy server is a server which services the request of its clients by forwarding requests to other servers. Many people incorrectly use proxy server as a synonym of web proxy server even though not all web proxy servers have content filtering capabilities.
