What is the primary purpose of network segmentation as a technical control?

To isolate traffic and limit the spread of attacks between network segments

To provide redundancy and failover capabilities

To replace the need for firewalls and other security devices

To increase the speed of the network by reducing broadcast domains

A remote employee needs to securely access internal web applications from a hotel Wi-Fi network. The company wants to avoid installing any client software on the employee's personal laptop. Which VPN technology should be used?

Remote desktop protocol (RDP) over the internet

SSL/TLS VPN accessed through a web browser

IPsec VPN with certificate-based authentication

A company wants to isolate its finance department from the rest of the network to limit the impact of a compromised workstation. The solution must be implemented on existing switches without purchasing new hardware. Which control should be used?

Install a host-based firewall on each finance workstation

Deploy a separate physical switch for finance

Configure VLANs on the existing switches

A company wants to secure its wireless network for employees while preventing unauthorized devices from connecting. They also want to isolate wireless traffic from the wired network. Which set of controls should they implement?

Disable SSID broadcast and use WEP encryption to secure the wireless network.

Use WPA2-Personal with a strong passphrase and enable MAC address filtering.

Use WPA3-Personal and rely on the access point's built-in firewall to block wired access.
