Network Firewall and Intrusion Prevention technologies are designed to prevent security breaches from happening in the first place by creating a protective barrier and actively monitoring network traffic for potential threats. Firewalls restrict unauthorized access, while Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) detect and block malicious activities in real-time. Together, they form a proactive defense to stop attacks before they penetrate the network.
Symantec Endpoint Security Documentation supports the role of firewalls and IPS as front-line defenses that prevent many types of security breaches, providing crucial protection at the network level.

Host integrity prevention sounds familiar, but I can't recall if it’s more about detection or prevention.

I'm a bit confused on this one. I know firewalls and intrusion prevention are important, but I'm not sure if that's the best answer here. Maybe Endpoint Detection and Response is the way to go? Ugh, security questions can be tricky.

Definitely going with Network Firewall and Intrusion Prevention. That's the classic security technology for stopping attacks before they happen. The other options are more for detecting and responding to breaches, not preventing them.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I'm leaning towards Endpoint Detection and Response, but I could see the argument for Network Firewall and Intrusion Prevention too. Might have to think this through a bit more.
