NSE 7 – Enterprise Firewall 6.2 — Question 49

Which statement describes IPS adaptive scanning?

Answer options

• A. Downloads signatures on demand from FDS based on scanning requirements.
• B. Determines when it is secure enough to stop scanning session traffic.
• C. Determines the optimal number of IPS engines required based on system load.
• D. Choose a matching algorithm based on the type of inspection being performed.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer, B, accurately reflects that IPS adaptive scanning evaluates security conditions to determine the appropriate moment to discontinue scanning session traffic. Option A discusses signature downloading, which is not related to adaptive scanning. Option C focuses on engine requirements rather than session traffic, and option D refers to algorithm selection, which does not describe adaptive scanning.
