An organization is struggling with scaling issues on its vpn - CompTIA Security+ SY0-701
Question
An organization is struggling with scaling issues on its VPN concentrator and internet circuit due to remote work. The organization is looking for a software solution that will allow it to reduce traffic on the VPN and internet circuit, while still providing encrypted tunnel access to the data center and monitoring of remote employee internet traffic. Which of the following will help achieve these objectives?

Explanation
Correct Answer: A. Deploying a SASE solution to remote employees
Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) integrates networking and security services, such as encrypted tunnels, traffic monitoring, and secure internet access, into a single cloud-based solution. By deploying a SASE solution, the organization can offload traffic from the VPN concentrator and internet circuit while still providing secure access to resources and monitoring internet traffic for remote employees. It is designed to address modern, scalable remote work requirements.
Explanations for Incorrect Options:
-
Building a load-balanced VPN solution with redundant internet:
While this could improve availability and load distribution for the VPN, it does not reduce traffic on the VPN concentrator or internet circuit. It focuses on redundancy and scalability but does not address the need for a more efficient solution to reduce traffic. -
Purchasing a low-cost SD-WAN solution for VPN traffic:
SD-WAN solutions optimize and route traffic between sites efficiently, but they do not inherently provide encrypted tunnels or comprehensive internet traffic monitoring for remote employees. SD-WAN alone is not sufficient to meet the stated objectives. -
Using a cloud provider to create additional VPN concentrators:
Adding more VPN concentrators in the cloud can improve capacity but does not reduce traffic or address scalability issues on the internet circuit. This approach increases costs without solving the underlying problem of traffic reduction and monitoring.
