Question #38

When developing security metrics, why would a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) that focuses on total perimeter firewall blocks be an ineffective metric?

A. The metric is too high level, it should be broken down by the type of block. For example, blocks of remote systems that have repeated failed connections to services that do not exist.

B. Perimeter firewalls should be measured on both the number of connections that they permit as well as the number they block.

C. This a Key Result Indicator, not a KPI. It is a metric that is measuring the results of the perimeter firewall's actions, not the performance of the firewall.

D. Perimeter firewalls are exposed on the internet directly and thus subject to automated scanners and attack tools.
