CCSK Exam - Question 125


What is true of cloud built-in firewalls?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: D

Cloud built-in firewalls typically offer fewer features than newer physical firewalls. This is because built-in firewalls are often designed to provide basic security controls suitable for most common scenarios, whereas newer physical firewalls, especially next-generation ones, include advanced features like deep packet inspection, intrusion detection, and prevention systems, which might not be necessary in all cloud environments due to other inherent security measures that cloud providers offer.
