Following a merger, the number of remote sites for a company has doubled to 52. The company has decided to secure each remote site with an NGFW to provide web filtering, NIDS/NIPS, and network antivirus. The Chief Information Officer (CIO) has requested that the security engineer provide recommendations on sizing for the firewall with the requirements that it be easy to manage and provide capacity for growth. The tables below provide information on a subset of remote sites and the firewall options # of users 18 12 27 6 7 Location Connectivity Bandwidth Utilization St. Louis Des Moines Chicago Rapid City Indianapolis 50Mbps 25Mbps 100Mbps 10MbpS 12Mbps 20Mbps 19Mbps 41Mbps 8Mbps 8Mbps Maximum Recommended Devices Full UTM? Centralized Management Available? Firewal Throughput 150Mbps 400MbpS 200Mbps 100Mbps Vendor 25 25 Which of the following would be the BEST option to recommend to the CIO? Vendor C for small remote sites, and Vendor B for large sites Vendor B for all remote sites vendor C for all remote sites Vendor A for all remote sites Vendor D for all remote sites B.
Explanation / Answer
D, Vendor A for all remote sites.
Vendors B & C are not recommended because these do not provide full UTM specially B which will also have lots of bandwidth wastage. Now D does not suffice for sites with number of users more than 25. Final option is A, which supports full UTM and also optimum firewall throughput.
