A firewall is being deployed at a new location. Which of the following is the MOST important factor in ensuring a successful deployment?

A. Reviewing logs frequently

B. Testing and validating the rules

C. Training a local administrator at the new location

D. Sharing firewall administrative duties

Explanation:

A mistake in the rule set can render a firewall insecure. Therefore, testing and validating the rules is the most important factor in ensuring a successful deployment. A regular review of log files would not start until the deployment has been completed. Training a local administrator may not be necessary if the firewalls are managed from a central location. Having multiple administrators is a good idea, but not the most important.
