IPS d. DoS None Q3. Why is there a need for better security if we have firewalls? a. Firewalls can only protect your network from external attacks b. Firewalls only protect networks by blocking or allowing certain IP addresses and TCP/UDP ports from accessing a network c. Firewalls don’t have the ability to inspect data packets up to an application level where the actual data requests are inspected d. Firewall technology is too old to protect your network Q4. What is virtual patching? a. The ability to patch a security flaw in a system which would otherwise be unprotected against such a flaw due to outdated/unsupported software/hardware such as the Windows 7 operating system. b. Disconnecting a network from any external networks to protect against security flaws c. Placing firewalls next to vulnerable equipment or computers to prevent attacks from reaching these devices d. Replacing all your legacy hardware with the latest technology to protect against legacy system vulnerabilities None Q5. Where are Next Generation firewalls (NGFW) and IPS/IDS device placement best suited? a. Firewalls are best suited for Zone protection where certain parts of the network are separated from the rest of the system, whereas IPS/IDS devices protect legacy and/or outdated equipment for virtual patching and protocol level protection. b. Firewalls are only suited for protection from external networks such as the internet, whereas IPS/IDS devices protect your network by dividing your network into protected zones. c. When using next generation firewalls the need for IPS/IDS devices are eliminated as NGFW has the same features as IPS/IDS devices and placement is only required between external networks and your internal protected network. d. Your internet service provider protects all the network connections for their customers which totally eliminates the need for any industrial cyber security.
