GIAC Security Leadership Certification (GSLC) 2020 — Question 2

Which interface does an IPS sensor use to communicate with a security appliance for management purposes?

Answer options

• A. Management interface
• B. User interface
• C. Command and control interface
• D. Monitoring interface

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as the Command and Control interface is specifically designed for management communication between the IPS sensor and the security appliance. The other options, while related to interfaces, do not serve the same management purpose and therefore are not correct for this context.
