Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • Secure Internet Gateway (SIG)

    Why this is correct

    SIG includes a cloud firewall that can inspect all traffic and enforce policies beyond DNS.

  • Intelligent Proxy

    Why it's wrong here

    Intelligent Proxy is for selective SSL inspection of web traffic, not for non-web traffic.

  • Umbrella Roaming Client

    Why it's wrong here

    The roaming client provides DNS-layer security off-network but does not inspect non-DNS traffic.

  • DNS-layer Security

    Why it's wrong here

    DNS-layer only blocks based on domain names; it cannot block direct IP connections.
