Implementing Cisco Network Security (IINS, legacy) — Question 79

Which two attack types can be prevented with the implementation of a Cisco IPS solution? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. VLAN hopping
• B. DDoS
• C. ARP spoofing
• D. worms
• E. man-in-the-middle

Correct answer: D, E

Explanation

The correct answers, D (worms) and E (man-in-the-middle), are both threats that a Cisco IPS can detect and prevent through its monitoring and response capabilities. Options A (VLAN hopping), B (DDoS), and C (ARP spoofing) are not primarily mitigated by an IPS; they require different security measures for effective prevention.
