ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question

An e-commerce company hosts its public marketing site on a single web server in the on-premises DMZ. Over the past month, volumetric DDoS floods have saturated the organization's Internet circuit, taking the site and internal services offline. Management needs a cost-effective mitigation that requires minimal changes to the existing hosting arrangement and should also improve latency for legitimate visitors. Which solution best meets these goals?

  • Upgrade the Internet circuit bandwidth and add a second on-premises web server behind a local load balancer.

  • Configure perimeter router ACLs to allow only TCP ports 80 and 443 to the web server.

  • Deploy a globally distributed content delivery network in front of the web server to cache content and absorb large traffic spikes.

  • Install a stateful packet-filtering firewall that drops traffic to the web server when utilization exceeds a threshold.
