ITPEC FE Morning October 2022 Question 44
ITPEC FE Morning October 2022 — Question 44 of 80
WAF (Web Application Firewall) — identify what a WAF does.
A WAF monitors HTTP traffic to a website and blocks requests that match attack patterns (SQL injection, XSS, etc.).
Why not others:
- (a) SIEM — centrally stores and analyzes logs from various systems to detect security threats
- (b) WPA2/WPA3 — Wi-Fi encryption standard certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance, supports AES
- (c) UTM — integrates firewall, antivirus, and intrusion detection into a single appliance
Key rule: WAF = web traffic filtering; SIEM = log aggregation; UTM = all-in-one security appliance.
