Question 40
A network team observes: Public clients must reach an internal HTTP service without learning or directly accessing its application server address. What is the MOST appropriate corrective action or technical decision?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The proxy terminates external requests and isolates internal origins. Origin servers are unnecessarily exposed to direct internet access.
Incorrect Answers
Providing a router or routed switch interface for each subnet with appropriate policy would not publish the application behind a hardened reverse proxy and block direct origin reachability.
Using a suitably tuned inline intrusion prevention function for the attack path would not publish the application behind a hardened reverse proxy and block direct origin reachability.
Configuring application-relevant health checks and removing failed targets automatically would not publish the application behind a hardened reverse proxy and block direct origin reachability.
