Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Answer: Both statements are true.
Statement (i): Firewalls can inspect and filter traffic both entering and leaving an organization based on rules (such as IP addresses, ports, protocols, and application-level criteria). This allows control over inbound threats and outbound data flows.
Statement (ii): Virtual private networks can simulate the properties of a leased line by creating encrypted tunnels over public networks, providing secure, private, point-to-point connectivity and other desirable properties similar to a dedicated leased network.
Therefore, both statements are true.
