Users are scattered around the building and Randy must support each of these network segments anywhere within the facility. Which one of the following technologies will best meet Randy's needs?   A. VLANs B. Physical segmentation C. VPNs D. WAFs   Correct Answer: A   Virtual LANs (VLANs) provide the segmentation Randy desires at the logical level, allowing them to appear anywhere in the building. Physical segmentation is likely too costly and inflexible for these requirements. Virtual private networks (VPNs) are unwieldy and unnecessary in a fixed office environment. Web application firewalls (WAFs) do not provide the required segmentation functionality.   Would you like to receive free practice test questions on a weekly basis? Sign up for the free CertMike study groups for the CISSP, Security+, SSCP, or CySA+ exam....
