QUESTION NO: 4
A large company with a very complex IT environment is considering a move from an on-premises, internally managed proxy to a cloud-based proxy solution managed by an external vendor. The current proxy provides caching, content filtering, malware analysis, and URL categorization for all staff connected behind the proxy. Staff members connect directly to the Internet outside of the corporate network. The cloud-based version of the solution would provide content filtering, TLS decryption, malware analysis, and URL categorization. After migrating to the cloud solution, all internal proxies would be decommissioned. Which of the following would MOST likely change the company's risk profile?
