ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question

Your organization is redesigning its on-prem network for a new three-tier app. Policy says only HTTPS can reach the web tier, the web tier initiates TCP 8443 to the app tier, and the database tier accepts MySQL only from the app tier. Which firewall deployment best enforces these rules inside the data center while avoiding extra hardware?

  • Deploy host-based firewalls on every server and centrally manage the rules with configuration-management tools.

  • Place a dedicated next-generation application firewall between each pair of tiers, adding a new appliance whenever a tier is created.

  • Install a stateful Layer 3/4 firewall at the network core and use VLAN sub-interfaces with access control lists to filter inter-tier traffic.

  • Implement a hypervisor-based distributed firewall that applies stateful policies to east-west traffic between virtual machines in each tier.
