A payroll provider includes a private peering in the contract. The requirement is that payroll traffic stay off the public internet. The internet path is up. Which path should payroll use?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
The private door is already in the contract, and you have been using the public street. You send payroll over the provider's private peering. An internet path, even a healthy one, misses the requirement to stay off the public internet.
Full Explanation
Dedicated SaaS connectivity is the private or peering path the application provider offers. This contract includes that peering, and the requirement forbids the public internet, so payroll should use the peering. The internet path being up does not make it the primary. Direct breakout is still the internet, whether or not the branch firewall inspects it. A cloud security provider in front of the public payroll site is indirect internet access, not the private peering. Exam caveat: the peering has to be the product the provider actually delivers. A route that claims to be private and then egresses to the public site does not meet the requirement. Operational check: payroll prefixes should point at the private peering, and the internet edge should not show those sessions.
