Enterprise Security Architecture

Question

A company's IT department currently performs traditional patching, and the servers have a significant longevity that may span over five years. A security architect is moving the company toward an immune server architecture in which servers are replaced rather than patched. Instead of having static servers for development, test, and production, the severs will move from environment to environment dynamically. Which of the following are required to move to this type of architecture? (Select Two.)

Options

  • ANetwork segmentation
  • BForward proxy
  • CNetflow
  • DLoad balancers
  • EAutomated deployments

Explanation

The stated answer includes B (Forward proxy), which is incorrect for immutable/immune server architecture. Automated deployments (E) are essential - without them you cannot programmatically spin up new server images to replace patched ones as they move through dev, test, and production. Load balancers (D) are also required to shift traffic between server instances during replacement with no downtime. A forward proxy routes outbound traffic and has no role in server lifecycle management or environment promotion.
