Security Fundamentals

What is a function of a Next-Generation IPS?

  • A correlates user activity with network events
  • B serves as a controller within a controller-based network
  • C integrates with a RADIUS server to enforce Layer 2 device authentication rules
  • D makes forwarding decisions based on learned MAC addresses
Explanation

A Next-Generation IPS provides intrusion prevention with deeper contextual analysis, including awareness of applications and user identity, so it can correlate user activity with observed network events and apply more accurate detection and policy enforcement. The other choices refer to controller-based networking, RADIUS/Layer 2 authentication, or basic Ethernet switching behavior rather than IPS functionality.
