An organization would like to store customer data on a separate part of the network that is not accessible to users on the main corporate network. Which of the following should the administrator use to accomplish this goal?
CompTIA SY0-701 pg 13 states isolation cuts a system off from access to or from outside networks.
Segmentation places sensitive systems on separate networks where they MAY communicate with each other.
Further notes: Isolation is a security measure that can be used to protect sensitive data which typically involves creating a completely separate environment, such as a different physical server or a standalone network, which can be more restrictive than segmentation. The question has the data still on the network, just in a separate part. So, Option A is still the best answer.
Correct Answer: B. Isolation
Isolation places systems or data in a completely separate network or environment, preventing access from the main corporate network. This is stronger than segmentation, which separates traffic but may still allow limited communication.
Segmentation is the correct answer because it involves creating distinct network segments that control access and separate sensitive customer data from the main corporate network. Network segmentation is the most appropriate solution for ensuring that customer data is stored securely and not accessible to unauthorized users.
Network segmentation involves dividing a network into subnets to control access and traffic flow. Network isolation is more severe, creating a standalone network with no connectivity to other parts of the network. It's a stringent form of segregation.
While isolation is a broader concept that can include segmentation, it typically refers to completely separating a system or environment from others, which might be more extreme than necessary for this purpose. Segmentation can help in isolating the customer data from the main corporate network, ensuring that it is not accessible to unauthorized users
The correct answer is:
B. Isolation
Isolation involves creating separate network segments or zones that restrict access between them. By isolating the network segment where customer data is stored from the main corporate network, the organization can prevent unauthorized users on the corporate network from accessing the sensitive customer data. This helps enhance security by limiting the potential attack surface and reducing the risk of unauthorized access or data breaches.
B cause A only involves dividing a network into smaller segments to improve security and performance but may still allow communication between segments.
