Actual exam question from ISC's CCSP
Question #: 270
Topic #: 1
[All CCSP Questions]

Although host-based and network-based IDSs perform similar functions and have similar capabilities, which of the following is an advantage of a network-based
IDS over a host-based IDS, assuming all capabilities are equal?

  • A. Segregated from host systems
  • B. Network access
  • C. Scalability
  • D. External to system patching
Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A 🗳️
A network-based IDS has the advantage of being segregated from host systems, and as such, it would not be open to compromise in the same manner a host- based system would be. Although a network-based IDS would be external to system patching, this is not the best answer here because it is a minor concern compared to segregation due to possible host compromise. Scalability is also not the best answer because, although a network-based IDS does remove processing from the host system, it is not a primary security concern. Network access is not a consideration because both a host-based IDS and a network-based
IDS would have access to network resources.

Selected Answer: A
For the context of CCSP, when discussing the advantage of network-based IDS over host-based IDS, considering that all other capabilities are equal, one significant advantage of a network-based IDS is indeed its segregation from host systems (Option A). This positioning allows the network-based IDS to monitor traffic and activities without being directly affected by compromises or alterations on individual host systems.
