Question

A security manager is creating a connection between two networks that process data at different classification levels. The main goal of this connection is to pass data from the higher classification side to the lower classification side without causing spillage. Only approved fie types and content will be allowed. Which of the following technologies would best meet this objective?

Options

  • ANetwork access control
  • BFile integrity monitoring
  • CCross-domain solution
  • DMicrosegmentation

Explanation

A cross-domain solution (CDS) is specifically designed to transfer data between networks of differing classification levels while enforcing strict content and file-type filtering to prevent spillage. CDS implementations, such as data diodes or content‑guarding proxies, ensure that only preapproved formats and sanitized content flow from the high side to the low side, meeting the requirement to allow safe data sharing without risking leakage.
