Implementing and Operating Cisco Security Core Technologies (SCOR) — Question 651

Which solution should a network administrator deploy to protect a webserver from SQL injection attacks?

Answer options

• A. IDS
• B. Secure Web Appliance
• C. ISE
• D. IPS

Correct answer: D

Explanation

An IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) is designed to actively monitor and block potential threats, including SQL injection attacks, by analyzing traffic patterns. In contrast, an IDS (Intrusion Detection System) only detects and alerts on attacks but does not prevent them. The Secure Web Appliance provides security but may not specifically target SQL injection, and ISE (Identity Services Engine) focuses on network access control rather than web application security.
