156-215.81.20 Application Control and URL Filtering Practice Question
A security policy requires that users are presented with a warning page before accessing sites categorized as 'High Risk'. After the warning, they can choose to proceed. Which URL Filtering action should be configured in the rule?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers confuse Inform with Ask; Inform only notifies, while Ask requires user interaction and allows proceeding.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Ask
The Ask action is designed to present a warning page and allow the user to proceed after acknowledgment. This aligns with the requirement to warn users before accessing high-risk sites while giving them the option to continue. Other actions either block completely or allow without warning.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Allow
Why it's wrong here
The Allow action permits access without any warning or user interaction. It does not meet the requirement of presenting a warning page. Users would access the site directly, bypassing the intended warning step, which is not the desired behavior.
- ✓
Ask
Why this is correct
The Ask action displays a warning page to the user, who can then choose to proceed or cancel. This matches the requirement exactly: users are warned before accessing high-risk sites and can decide to continue. It provides a balance between security awareness and user flexibility.
- ✗
Block
Why it's wrong here
The Block action prevents access entirely without any user option to proceed. It does not provide a warning page or allow the user to continue. This is too restrictive for the requirement, which explicitly allows users to proceed after acknowledging the warning.
- ✗
Inform
Why it's wrong here
The Inform action logs the access and may display a notification, but it does not require user acknowledgment or provide a choice to proceed. It is less interactive than Ask and does not fulfill the requirement of a warning page with an option to continue.
