1A firewall is used for [blank_start]network isolation.[blank_end]
- Anetwork isolation.
- Binternal network connectivity.
- Cexternal connections to the Internet.
- Dconnecting two or more networks.
2A [blank_start]packet filter[blank_end] firewall passes or blocks traffic to specific addresses based on the application type.
- Apacket filter
- Bproxy
- Cstateful packet inspection
3A [blank_start]proxy[blank_end] firewall can be thought of as an intermediary between your network and any other network. It examines the data and makes rule-based decisions about whether the request should be forwarded or refused.
- Aproxy
- Bpacket filter
- Cstateful packet inspection
4In a [blank_start]stateful packet inspection[blank_end] firewall, records are kept using a state table that tracks every communications channel. It remembers where the packet came from and where the next one should come from.
- Astateful packet inspection
- Bproxy
- Cpacket filter
5The primary purpose of a router is [blank_start]connecting two or more networks.[blank_end]
- Aconnecting two or more networks.
- Bnetwork isolation.
- Cexternal connections to the Internet.
- Dinternal network connectivity.
6The primary purpose of a switch is [blank_start]internal network connectivity.[blank_end]
- Ainternal network connectivity.
- Bconnecting two or more networks.
- Cexternal connections to the Internet.
- Dnetwork isolation.
7Using a server as a load balancer, balancing the load between multiple servers instead of only one reduces the [blank_start]response time[blank_end], maximizes [blank_start]throughput[blank_end], and allows better [blank_start]allocation of resources[blank_end].
- Aresponse time
- Bthroughput
- Callocation of resources
8A proxy is a device that [blank_start]acts on behalf of others[blank_end].
- Aacts on behalf of others
9A web security gateway can be thought of as a [blank_start]proxy server[blank_end] with [blank_start]web protection software[blank_end] built in.
- Aproxy server
- Bweb protection software
10A [blank_start]VPN[blank_end] is a private network connection that occurs through a private network. [blank_start]VPN[blank_end]s can be used to connect LANs together across the Internet or other public networks.
- AVPN
- BVPN
11A VPN concentrator is a hardware device used to create [blank_start]remote access VPNs[blank_end].
- Aremote access VPNs
12A [blank_start]behavior-based[blank_end] IDS looks for variations in behavior such as unusually high traffic, policy violations, and so on.
- Abehavior-based
- Bsignature-based
- Canomaly-detection
- Dheuristic
13A [blank_start]signature-based[blank_end] IDS is primarily focused on evaluating attacks based on attack signatures and audit trails.
- Asignature-based
- Bbehavior-based
- Canomaly-detection
- Dheuristic
14A [blank_start]anomaly-detection[blank_end] IDS looks for things outside of the ordinary.
- Aanomaly-detection
- Bbehavior-based
- Csignature-based
- Dheuristic
15A [blank_start]heuristic[blank_end] IDS uses algorithms to analyze the traffic passing through the network.
- Aheuristic
- Bbehavior-based
- Csignature-based
- Danomaly-detection
16A [blank_start]protocol analyzer[blank_end], or [blank_start]packet sniffer[blank_end], monitors the data that is transmitted across a network.
- Aprotocol analyzer
- Bpacket sniffer
17Unified threat managment (UTM) can provide [blank_start]URL filtering[blank_end], [blank_start]content inspection[blank_end], or [blank_start]malware inspection[blank_end].
- AURL filtering
- Bcontent inspection
- Cmalware inspection
18A [blank_start]web application firewall[blank_end] is a real-time appliance that applies a set of rules to block traffic to and from web servers and to try to prevent attacks. They can not only detect known problems but react to suspected problems as well.
- Aweb application firewall
