For which two reasons would you define Network ACLs?

Question

Options

• Afor configuring fine-grained access control for users and roles that need to access external network
• Bfor configuring fine-grained access control to Oracle wallets to make HTTP requests that require
• Cto create auditing policies regarding the usage of network services from the database
• Dto block network attacks or denial of service attacks directed at the database
• Eto Improve the performance of the database applications that require access to remote network

• A
  84% (46)
• B
  5% (3)
• C
  2% (1)
• E
  9% (5)

Explanation

Network ACLs in Oracle Database serve as fine-grained privilege controls that restrict which database users and roles can make outbound network connections (e.g., via UTL_HTTP or UTL_SMTP), making A correct - and they also act as a security boundary to block unauthorized inbound traffic, including network attacks and denial-of-service attempts, making D correct.

B is wrong because Oracle Wallets are a separate mechanism for storing credentials and certificates; ACLs don't configure wallet access. C is wrong because auditing policies are created through Oracle's Unified Auditing or AUDIT commands, not through ACLs. E is wrong because ACLs are purely a security control - they have no role in performance optimization.

Memory tip: ACL = Access Control List - keep it focused on security: who gets access (users/roles to external networks) and who gets blocked (attackers). Anything about auditing, wallets, or performance is a distractor pulling you away from the core security purpose.
