A company wants to allow employees to work from home using a VPN. The security policy requires that only company-issued laptops can connect. Which authentication method should be used?

IP address allowlisting of home networks

Certificate-based authentication on the laptop

Two-factor authentication with a mobile app

Why is certificate management a consideration in SSL/TLS decryption deployments?

Certificates are not needed for decryption

The security device must present a trusted certificate to clients to intercept traffic

Certificates are used to encrypt the traffic after inspection

Certificates are only needed for inbound traffic

What is the primary role of behavioral analysis in an IPS?

To detect anomalies by comparing current traffic patterns to a baseline of normal behavior

To authenticate users before allowing network access

To block all traffic from unknown IP addresses

To decrypt encrypted traffic for inspection

What is the role of a forward proxy in SSL/TLS decryption?

To block all inbound traffic from the internet

To cache web content to speed up access

To encrypt all outbound traffic to protect privacy

To intercept outbound traffic, decrypt it for inspection, and re-encrypt it before sending to the destination

A security analyst notices that a particular exploit attempt is consistently detected by the IPS but is not being blocked. The IPS is deployed in inline mode and the policy is set to 'alert' for the signature. What should the analyst do to ensure the traffic is blocked?

Disable the signature to reduce false positives.

Move the IPS to passive mode so it can analyze traffic without impacting performance.

Change the IPS action for the signature from 'alert' to 'drop' or 'reset'.

Increase the IPS sensitivity threshold to catch more variants.
