Network Segmentation and Access Control

The video tutorial covers network segmentation, explaining its types—physical, logical, and virtual—and their benefits for security and performance. It delves into Access Control Lists (ACLs), illustrating how they manage network access through IP addresses and user permissions. The tutorial also discusses application control using allow and deny lists, highlighting their role in preventing unauthorized software execution and ensuring system security.

What is one of the main benefits of network segmentation?

• Simplified network management

• Increased network speed

• Reduced hardware costs

• Enhanced security and performance

Which type of segmentation is commonly used in cloud-based architectures?

• Hybrid segmentation

• Virtual segmentation

• Logical segmentation

• Physical segmentation

Why might a company use strategic segmentation?

• To simplify network protocols

• To prevent direct user access to sensitive servers

• To reduce the number of network devices

• To increase the number of network users

What is an Access Control List (ACL) primarily used for?

• To monitor network speed

• To manage user passwords

• To control network traffic

• To encrypt data

Which of the following is a criterion that can be used in an ACL?

• User's email address

• Device model

• Source IP address

• Network cable type

What is the purpose of an application allow list?

• To increase application speed

• To monitor application usage

• To allow only approved applications to run

• To block all applications

How does a deny list differ from an allow list?

• It blocks all applications by default

• It allows all applications except those specified

• It is used only for network devices

• It requires digital signatures for all applications

What is a digital signature used for in application control?

• To verify the authenticity of an application

• To encrypt application data

• To manage application licenses

• To increase application speed

What is the role of an application hash in Windows application control?

• To manage application updates

• To identify an application by its name

• To verify the integrity of an application

• To increase application performance

How can Windows network zones affect application execution?

• They determine the speed of application execution

• They manage application licenses

• They allow or disallow applications based on the network type

• They encrypt application data
