Exam N10-008 topic 1 question 654 discussion

C. HIPS HIPS stands for Host-based Intrusion Prevention System. It is a security measure that operates on individual host devices to actively monitor and prevent intrusions at the host level. HIPS monitors the activities and behaviors of applications and processes on a host, looking for any signs of malicious behavior. If it detects suspicious activity, it can take preventive actions to stop or contain the potential intrusion.

The answer is C. HIPS (Host-based Intrusion Prevention System) HIDS (Host-based Intrusion Detection System) NIDS (Network-based Intrusion Detection System) NIPS (Network-based Intrusion Prevention System)

A detection system will give you an opportunity to locate the threat, quarantine it, & eliminate/mitigate it.

To actively mitigate intrusions on a host device, the most likely solution would be: C. HIPS (Host-based Intrusion Prevention System) HIPS is designed to operate on individual host devices (like workstations, servers, etc.) and can actively prevent and mitigate intrusions. It not only detects malicious activities but also has the capability to automatically take action against these threats, such as blocking network traffic or quarantining malware.

We're talking about a host device, so that rules out NIPS and NIDS. The key word to look at is "actively." Intrusion detection is passive. Intrusion prevention is active. Therefore, the answer is C, HIPS (Host-based Intrusion Prevention System).

C. HIPS (Host-based Intrusion Prevention System). HIPS is a security system installed on individual hosts or devices to monitor and analyze their activities for potential malicious activities or security policy violations. It works by examining network traffic that is received and transmitted by the host and can take actions to prevent intrusions, such as blocking potentially malicious activity in real-time. HIDS (Host-based Intrusion Detection System) is more focused on detection and alerting of potential threats rather than actively preventing them.

C. HIPS is the answer

Mitigate = prevention aka Host Intrusion Prevention System Become Aware = Dection = HIDS C is correct

HIPS is the answer
