Security Fundamentals

What is a function of a Next-Generation IPS?

  • A It analyzes and mitigates observed vulnerabilities in a network.
  • B It serves as a controller within a controller-based network
  • C It integrates with a RADIUS server to enforce Layer 2 device authentication rules
  • D It makes forwarding decisions based on learned MAC addresses
Explanation

A Next-Generation IPS provides intrusion prevention by inspecting network traffic in depth and detecting exploit activity against known weaknesses, then blocking or mitigating that malicious traffic. It is not a network controller, it does not primarily perform RADIUS-based Layer 2 authentication enforcement, and it does not make Ethernet forwarding decisions from learned MAC addresses.
