Before accepting a vendor’s redesign of the city WAN and campus edge, security architects must review the proposal. Which review focus best applies secure design principles holistically?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A redesign isn’t 'secure' because the vendor drew more boxes. Check the real stuff: zones, edge filters, crypto, who can manage devices, whether failover cheats the firewall, and whether you’ll even see attacks. Principles beat product checklists.
Full Explanation
Secure architecture review assesses whether proposed networks embody defense-in-depth principles: appropriate segmentation, hardened ingress/egress, protected management, encryption where trust is incomplete, redundancy that preserves controls, and observability. Feature quantity or visual diagrams without those properties do not demonstrate CISSP-aligned secure design for municipal infrastructure.
