Which security solution identifies incoming threats and blocks them from entering the corporate network?
- access control lists
- intrusion prevention systems
- virtual private networks
- firewall filtering
Explanation: Larger networks and corporate networks use antivirus, antispyware, and firewall filtering, but they also have other security methods and devices. For example, dedicated firewall systems can filter large amounts of traffic with more granularity. Access control lists filter access and control traffic forwarding based on IP addresses and applications. Intrusion prevention systems identify fast-spreading threats, such as zero-day or zero-hour attacks. Finally, virtual private networks provide secure access into an organization for remote workers.
