    Match the following ASA Firewall features with their descriptions:

    <p>ASA Virtualization = Each context is an independent device, with its own security policy, interfaces, and administrators. High Availability = Both platforms must be identical in software, licensing, memory, and interfaces, including the Security Services Module (SSM). Identity Firewall = control and security policy mechanisms by allowing users, or groups, to be specified in place of source IP addresses. ASA Threat Control = protection against tens of thousands of known exploits.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    Match the following ASA Firewall features with their functions:

    <p>ASA Virtualization = provides independent devices with their own security policy High Availability = ensures both platforms are identical for redundancy Identity Firewall = specifies users or groups in place of source IP addresses ASA Threat Control = protects against unknown exploit variants</p> Signup and view all the answers

    Match the following ASA Firewall features with their benefits:

    <p>ASA Virtualization = multiple independent devices in one platform High Availability = redundancy and failover capability Identity Firewall = enhanced access control ASA Threat Control = protection against known and unknown exploits</p> Signup and view all the answers

    Study Notes

    Factors Affecting IPS Sensor Selection and Deployment

    • Network traffic amount is a key factor in IPS sensor selection and deployment
    • Network topology is a crucial factor in IPS sensor selection and deployment
    • Security budget is a significant factor in IPS sensor selection and deployment
    • Availability of security staff to manage IPS affects sensor selection and deployment

    Signature Categories in IDS and IPS

    • Atomic signatures: simplest type, consists of a single packet, activity, or event that matches a configured signature, triggering an alarm and signature action
    • Composite signatures: identify a sequence of operations distributed across multiple hosts over an arbitrary period of time
