Which security technology is used to passively monitor network traffic with the objective of detecting a possible attack?
- IPS
- IDS
- proxy server
- firewall
Answers Explanation & Hints: An IDS system is implemented to passively monitor the traffic on a network. Both an IPS and a firewall actively monitor network traffic and take immediate actions when previously defined security criteria match. A proxy server, when it functions as a firewall, also actively monitors the traffic that travels through it and takes immediate actions.
