A security engineer needs to recommend a solution to defend against malicious actors misusing protocols and being allowed through network defenses. Which of the following will the engineer most likely recommend?
Next-Generation Firewalls go beyond traditional firewalls by adding advanced capabilities like deep packet inspection, application-awareness, and intrusion prevention. They can identify and block suspicious activities, including those that misuse protocols or attempt to bypass traditional network security measures.
C. A next-generation firewall
A next-generation firewall (NGFW) offers advanced capabilities, including application awareness, protocol inspection, intrusion prevention, and deep packet inspection. These features make NGFWs well-suited to identify and block malicious actors misusing protocols and ensure that they do not bypass network defenses.
A Web Application Firewall (WAF) is a security solution specifically designed to protect web applications from various web-based threats, including attacks that misuse protocols. It sits between the user's browser and the web server, inspecting HTTP/HTTPS requests and responses.
I would say C, a next generation firewall works up to layer 7. In the question there is no mentioning of web applications. The question focusses on network.
