A company uses an IPsec VPN for remote access. The security team wants to ensure that only company-managed laptops with the latest patches can establish a VPN connection. Which technology should be integrated with the VPN to enforce this requirement?

Network Access Control (NAC) that checks device posture before allowing VPN connection

An extended ACL on the VPN gateway that permits only IPsec traffic from specific IP addresses

A stateful firewall that blocks all non-IPsec traffic on the VPN interface

A packet-filtering firewall that allows only UDP port 500 and ESP traffic

What is the main purpose of using a VPN for remote access?

To allow remote users to bypass network security policies

To increase network speed by compressing data

To replace the need for firewalls in the network

To provide a secure encrypted tunnel for data transmission over public networks

A network administrator needs to allow inbound HTTPS traffic to a web server from the internet, but block all other inbound traffic. The server has a public IP address of 203.0.113.10. Which ACL entry on the router's external interface best achieves this?

Permit tcp any host 203.0.113.10 eq 443

Permit tcp host 203.0.113.10 any eq 443

Permit ip any host 203.0.113.10

A company allows employees to work from home. The IT team needs to provide secure access to internal applications over the internet. The security policy requires that the VPN solution encrypts all traffic and works without requiring additional client software on employee laptops. Which VPN technology should be chosen?

SSL/TLS VPN accessed through a web browser

A remote desktop gateway that uses RDP over the internet

IPsec VPN with a pre-shared key and client software

Site-to-site IPsec VPN between the home router and the office router
