A company has implemented a centralized proxy to manage web traffic. Which of the following tasks would MOST effectively utilize the proxy to enhance the organization's security posture?
You selected this option
Configuring automatic backups of user data every 24 hours.
You selected this option
Inspecting and logging web traffic for analysis and compliance.
You selected this option
Allowing users to tunnel web traffic through SSH to enhance encryption.
You selected this option
Restricting all users' access to the control panel on their respective machines.
Inspecting and logging web traffic allows the centralized proxy to monitor and record all incoming and outgoing web traffic. This inspection aids in identifying suspicious activities, ensuring adherence to organizational policies, and providing valuable information for audits or investigations. Restricting users from accessing the control panel does not primarily utilize the features of a centralized proxy. While tunneling through SSH can encrypt traffic, it would bypass the centralized proxy's filtering and monitoring capabilities. Configuring backups is necessary for data preservation but does not employ the centralized proxy's functions in traffic management.
