CISM Certified Information Security Manager – Question0596

The BEST reason for an organization to have two discrete firewalls connected directly to the Internet and to the same DMZ would be to:

A.
provide in-depth defense.
B. separate test and production.
C. permit traffic load balancing.
D. prevent a denial-of-service attack.
