Question
ASM combined with LTM provides protection against:
Options
- ALayer 7 DoS attacks
- BAll of the above
- CLayer 4 DoS attacks
- DDDoS attacks
Explanation
Combining F5 ASM with LTM on BIG-IP provides a multi-layer defense that covers Layer 4 DoS, Layer 7 DoS, and volumetric DDoS attacks simultaneously.
Common mistakes.
- A. Layer 7 DoS protection alone is an incomplete answer because the ASM-plus-LTM combination also addresses Layer 4 and distributed DoS scenarios.
- C. Layer 4 DoS protection alone is an incomplete answer because ASM specifically extends coverage to application-layer attacks that LTM alone cannot inspect.
- D. DDoS protection alone is an incomplete answer because the solution simultaneously provides both Layer 4 and Layer 7 single-source DoS mitigation as well.
Concept tested. ASM and LTM combined DoS protection layers
