Exam CFR-310 topic 1 question 10 discussion

B. Filters unwanted content A web proxy can block malicious or inappropriate content, preventing harmful traffic from reaching the user. C. Limits direct connection to Internet By acting as an intermediary between users and the internet, a proxy hides internal network details and restricts direct access to external websites, reducing exposure to threats. Why the other options are not related to strengthening cybersecurity: A. Increases browsing speed: This is related to performance, not security. D. Caches frequently-visited websites: Caching improves speed but doesn’t enhance security. E. Decreases WAN traffic: This reduces network load but isn’t directly tied to cybersecurity.

B. Filters unwanted content: A web proxy can filter out malicious or unwanted content, helping to block access to malicious websites, malware downloads, and other potentially harmful online resources. This filtering capability is a key part of cybersecurity. C. Limits direct connection to the Internet: By acting as an intermediary between the local network and the Internet, a web proxy can limit direct connections from internal systems to the Internet. This provides an additional layer of security, as it allows the proxy to inspect and control traffic going in and out of the network, reducing the exposure to external threats.
