[All N10-009 Questions]

An employee in a corporate office clicks on a link in an email that was forwarded to them. The employee is redirected to a splash page that says the page is restricted. Which of the following security solutions is most likely in place?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Content filtering blocks access to restricted or malicious websites. When a user attempts to visit a site that violates company policies, they are redirected to a restriction page.

This is a common security measure to prevent employees from accessing phishing or malware-infected sites.

Content filters work by scanning URLs, keywords, or categories and blocking inappropriate or harmful content.

Option A (DLP - Data Loss Prevention): Focuses on preventing sensitive data leaks rather than blocking web access.

Option B (Captive portal): Used mainly in public Wi-Fi to authenticate users before granting access, not to restrict sites.

Option D (DNS sinkholing): Redirects malicious domain requests to a safe address but is not responsible for policy-based restrictions on general content.

I think Captive portal could also be a valid answer. It restricts access until authentication is provided.

I'm not sure, but I think D) DNS sinkholing could also be a possibility.

DNS sinkholing, eh? Sounds like the IT team is playing a game of 'catch the click' with the employees. Better watch your step!

Bingo! It's gotta be the captive portal. Trapping those pesky employees in a walled garden of security.
