Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C 🗳️
URL filtering, also known as web filtering, is the act of blocking access to a site based on all or part of the URL used to request access. URL filtering can focus on all or part of a fully qualified domain name (FQDN), specific path names, specific filenames, specific file extensions, or entire specific URLs. Many URL-filtering tools can obtain updated master URL block lists from vendors as well as allow administrators to add or remove URLs from a custom list.
Incorrect Answers:
A: The basic purpose of a firewall is to isolate one network from another. Firewalls are available as appliances, meaning theyre installed as the primary device separating two networks.
B: Switches are multiport devices that improve network efficiency.
D: A spam filter is a software or hardware tool whose primary purpose is to identify and block/filter/remove unwanted messages (that is, spam).
