Question

Traffic that is encrypted will typically pass by an intrusion prevention system untouched.a. Trueb. False

Answer 1

Answer:

A. True

Explanation:

Data encryption is a technique that converts clear text into unreadable text and transmitted over a network, to prevent attackers from understanding the information send to the receiver, which can only be deciphered by the receiver and the sender with special keys or software.

An intrusion prevention system is used to mitigate cyber attackers by preventing unwanted packets that could be malicious, from entering the network.

The intrusion prevention system can only see clear text data. For this reason, an encrypted text can pass through the prevention system untouched.
