Which option is an advantage to using network-based anti-virus versus host-based anti- virus?
A. Network-based has the ability to protect unmanaged devices and unsupported operating systems.
B. There are no advantages compared to host-based antivirus.
C. Host-based antivirus does not have the ability to collect newly created signatures.
D. Network-based can protect against infection from malicious files at rest.
Correct Answer is “A”.
Network-based malware protection takes action on files that are traversing the network. This is an important distinction when compared to end-point malware protection, which is the more traditional variety in which endpoints (hosts) run protection software locally.
Network-based Antivirus Example: IDS / IPS / Cisco Firepower NGIPS.
What the hell is a network based antivirus?
D is the correct answer. Try to figure out the question. the question says anti virus.
I’m staying with A.
A host-based ant-virus can also protect against infection from malicious files at rest.
What a host-based anti-virus can’t do is protect unmanaged devices (BYODs) nor can it unsupported operating systems.
Network-based virus solutions are positioned as malware solutions.
how is that even relevant to the question
D is false answer ??? anyone can suggest correct answer
D is false answer
why not is D?
