Implementing Cisco Network Security (IINS, legacy) — Question 33

Which actions can a promiscuous IPS take to mitigate an attack? (Choose three)

Answer options

• A. modifying packets
• B. requesting connection blocking
• C. denying packets
• D. resetting the TCP connection
• E. requesting host blocking

Correct answer:

Explanation

The correct actions for a promiscuous IPS to mitigate an attack include denying packets, resetting the TCP connection, and requesting host blocking. Modifying packets is not a typical action for IPS systems, as they focus on detection and response rather than altering data. Requesting connection blocking may be useful, but it's not as direct in mitigating an active attack as the other correct options.
