Question #: 255
Topic #: 2
A web server that is being deployed in the perimeter network needs to be shielded from malicious traffic. Which of the following could help identify these threats?

Suggested Answer: C Vote an answer

HIDS (Host Intrusion Detection System): Continuously monitors a system for suspicious activity and logs or raises alerts when potential threats are identified. This proactive approach is crucial for identifying and mitigating threats on a web server exposed to the external network.
Applying OS updates: While essential for maintaining system security, updates address vulnerabilities and may not necessarily identify ongoing threats.
Disabling unused services: Reduces the attack surface by minimizing potential entry points for malicious actors, but doesn't actively identify threats.
Installing anti-malware: Primarily designed to detect and remove malware after infection, not for ongoing threat identification.
