Practice question 436 of 498 · hard

The gateway enforces all intended policies, but the backend remains publicly callable without equivalent checks. Which architecture change best closes the bypass?

Choose the single best answer.

  1. A.Treat the gateway configuration as proof that the backend is unreachable
  2. B.Hide the backend URL in the documentation
  3. C.Increase the gateway's request limit
  4. D.Restrict backend access to the intended path and require appropriate backend authentication and authorization
Show the answer and explanation

✓ Correct answer

  • Restrict backend access to the intended path and require appropriate backend authentication and authorization

The origin needs an enforced access boundary and suitable identity controls. Gateway policies alone do not block direct calls, undisclosed URLs are not security boundaries, and larger limits do not prevent bypass.
