  • Q1
    What is one reason why a company might choose to implement a Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW)?
    It provides advanced features like intrusion prevention and deep packet inspection
    It can only be used for monitoring network traffic
    It does not require regular software updates
    It is cheaper to implement than traditional firewalls

  • Q2
    What does the term 'default deny' mean in the context of firewall rules?
    All traffic is allowed unless explicitly denied
    It means that all traffic is blocked unless explicitly allowed by a rule
    Traffic is allowed based on the time of day
    Only outgoing traffic is monitored

  • Q3
    Which of the following is a common feature of modern firewalls?
    Only allows traffic from known IP addresses
    Intrusion detection and prevention capabilities
    Is solely used for network performance monitoring
    Requires manual updates for every rule

  • Q4
    What is the primary function of a firewall in a computer network?
    To increase the speed of network connections
    To store data securely
    To monitor and control incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predetermined security rules
    To host web applications

  • Q5
    Which type of firewall operates at the application layer of the OSI model?
    Packet filtering firewall
    Stateful inspection firewall
    Application firewall
    Network address translation (NAT) firewall

  • Q6
    What is one advantage of using a hardware firewall over a software firewall?
    It offers better user interface options
    It provides a dedicated hardware solution that can process and filter traffic more efficiently
    It can only protect a single device
    It is easier to configure than a software firewall

  • Q7
    What is the primary difference between a VPN and a firewall?
    A VPN is installed on the hardware, while a firewall only exists as software
    A VPN is used for local networks, a firewall is used for cloud networks
    A VPN encrypts your internet traffic for secure remote access, while a firewall filters and controls incoming and outgoing network traffic.
    A VPN prevents any traffic while a firewall allows all traffic

  • Q8
    What is the primary difference between an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) and an Intrusion Prevention System (IPS)?
    An IDS and IPS perform the same functions.
    An IDS can block attacks while an IPS cannot.
    An IPS only monitors network traffic without taking action.
    An IDS monitors and alerts on suspicious activity while an IPS actively blocks it.

  • Q9
    What type of alerts does an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) typically generate?
    Only false positives with no true alerts.
    Alerts for successful logins only.
    Alerts based on detected anomalies and potential threats.
    Only alerts for authenticated users.

  • Q10
    Which of the following best describes the deployment location of an Intrusion Prevention System (IPS)?
    An IPS is typically placed in-line with the network traffic it is protecting.
    An IPS operates solely on endpoint devices.
    An IPS is placed in a passive mode, like an IDS.
    An IPS is usually located outside the firewall.

  • Q11
    Which of the following statements about an Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) is true?
    An IPS requires manual updates for every detected threat.
    An IPS can drop malicious packets automatically before they reach their destination.
    An IPS cannot distinguish between legitimate and malicious traffic.
    An IPS only logs activity without any intervention.
    30s
  • Q12
    What is a common deployment strategy for an Intrusion Detection System (IDS)?
    An IDS requires that all network traffic be encrypted.
    An IDS is often deployed in a passive mode to monitor network traffic without interfering with it.
    An IDS operates only on specific endpoints.
    An IDS is always deployed in-line to block traffic.
    30s
  • Q13
    Which of the following best describes the primary goal of an Intrusion Prevention System (IPS)?
    To log all network activity without taking action.
    To actively prevent and block potential security threats in real-time.
    To provide user authentication and access control.
    To only alert administrators after an attack has occurred.

  • Q14
    What is the main advantage of having both an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) and an Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) in a network?
    An IDS performs better when it is the only system in use.
    Using both is redundant and unnecessary.
    An IPS alone can detect threats more effectively than an IDS.
    Combining both systems provides comprehensive security, with monitoring and threat prevention capabilities.

  • Q15
    What is the primary purpose of Unified Threat Management (UTM) systems?
    To provide traditional antivirus software
    To integrate multiple security functions into a single device
    To create isolated network segments
    To monitor user behavior exclusively
