Implementing Cisco Network Security (IINS, legacy) — Question 75
Which two actions does an IPS perform? (Choose two.)
Answer options
- A. It reconfigures a device to block the traffic
- B. It reflects the traffic back to the sender
- C. It encrypts the traffic
- D. It terminates the user session or connection of the attacker
- E. It spans the traffic
Correct answer: A, D
Explanation
The correct answers are A and D because an IPS actively blocks malicious traffic by reconfiguring devices and can terminate connections to prevent further attacks. Options B, C, and E do not describe functions of an IPS; it does not reflect traffic, encrypt it, or span traffic.
