Product-Based Solutions are typically deployed how?

• A. Deployed only in the cloud
• B. Installed on the organization's internal network, either private/non-routable or Internet-addressable
• C. Installed exclusively on attacker-controlled infrastructure
• D. Only available as hosted services outside the network

Answer: (B)

Product-based security solutions are typically deployed inside the organization's own environment, meaning they are installed on the internal network as software, hardware, or appliances you manage. This deployment model sits within the organization’s network boundary and can run on private (non-routable) IP addresses or on Internet-addressable interfaces, depending on how management or remote access is configured. The key idea is control and ownership: the organization owns, administers, and maintains the solution, and data often stays within the local network unless explicitly exposed.

This is why the option describing deployment on the internal network, with either private or Internet-addressable addressing, is the best fit. Other models like cloud-only, attacker-controlled infrastructure, or services hosted entirely outside the network describe different deployment approaches (cloud/SaaS, compromised environments, or external-hosted services) rather than the traditional product-based on-premises approach.
