CompTIA Security+ Question I-55

Peter, the system administrator, wishes to monitor and limit users’ access to external websites.
Which of the following would BEST address this?

A. Block all traffic on port 80.
B. Implement NIDS.
C. Use server load balancers.
D. Install a proxy server.

Answer: D

Explanation:
A proxy is a device that acts on behalf of other(s). In the interest of security, all internal user interaction with the Internet should be controlled through a proxy server. The proxy server should automatically block known malicious sites. The proxy server should cache often-accessed sites to improve performance.
