Answer:

Detection vs Prevention

Explanation:

A Network Intrusion Detection System as the name suggests it "detects" the attackers / vulnerabilities existed in the network system / infrastructure.
A Network Intrusion Prevention Detection System as the name suggests it "prevents" the attackers from hacking the system. While a detection just detects the abnormalities where as a prevention system can prevent them.
The detection system detects the vulnerabilities, security threats and the attackers in the system through the web traffic analyzers and security analyzers.
The prevention system prevents the network from being compromised. It tries to regain the access if already compromised.
Both the NIDS and NIPS have to be coordinated for the full protection of the network.

In a penetration test, the ________ team comprises testers who are given no knowledge of the infrastructure and are attacking a

just olya [345]

Answer:

TIGER TEAM

Explanation:

Penetration testing is the act of simulating an attack on an organization's resources to assess an infrastructure's true vulnerabilities. A penetration test simulates an actual attack. Penetration testers use a variety of methods including social engineering, software hacking and physical intrusion.

There are different types of penetration testing teams which are: red team, blue team and purple team.

Red team also known as the tiger team simulates real types of cyber attacks in order to discover any unknown security vulnerabilities or weaknesses.

In penetration testing, tiger (red) team are the attackers and are usually outside contractors, with a lot of knowledge of how to break in but NO KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT SECURITY IS IN PLACE.

Therefore, In a penetration test, the TIGER TEAM comprises testers who are given no knowledge of the infrastructure and are attacking a target that is unaware of their existence until the attack is made.
