MCIA - Level 1 Exam - Question 57


Mule applications need to be deployed to CloudHub so they can access on-premises database systems. These systems store sensitive and hence tightly protected data, so are not accessible over the internet.

What network architecture supports this requirement?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: A

An Anypoint VPC connected to the on-premises network using an IPsec tunnel or AWS DirectConnect, plus matching firewall rules in the VPC and on-premises network provides a secure and reliable way for Mule applications to access sensitive on-premises databases. This setup ensures end-to-end encryption and strict firewall rules, making it ideal for accessing tightly protected data without exposing it to the public internet.

It should be A. It cannot be D or C because data is tightly protected means it has to be atleast encrypted. Cannot be B because relocation of database systems to a DMZ does not mean data is tightly protected. Its opposite. It should be A. IPsec tunnel will protect against any unauthoried access of data over public network.
