B is the clear winner here, no doubt about it!

Surprised people don’t mention C more, installation matters!

Really? I’m not convinced that network-based is always better.
GR

I think A is a big plus too, no resource drain.
MO

Definitely B, they can see all the traffic!

I thought the ease of installation was a point for network-based systems, but now I'm questioning if that's really the main advantage.

I feel like I saw a practice question similar to this, and it was about how network-based IDS/IPS can monitor multiple hosts at once. That might relate to option B.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about host-based solutions using more resources, so maybe that's why network-based ones are better?

I think the main advantage is that network-based systems can inspect all traffic at the boundary, right? That seems to make sense.

The main advantage of a network-based IDS/IPS is that it doesn't use host system resources, which is option A. That seems like the most straightforward answer to me.

I'm a little confused by this question. I know the differences between the two, but I'm not sure which one is the "main" advantage. I'll have to think about this a bit more.

Okay, let me think this through. The key advantage of a network-based system is that it can inspect all traffic at the boundary, which a host-based solution can't do. I'll go with option B.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know the differences between network-based and host-based IDS/IPS, but I'm not sure which specific advantage they're looking for here.

This seems like a straightforward question about the advantages of network-based IDS/IPS over host-based solutions. I'm pretty confident I can figure this out.

I'm pretty confident I know the answer to this one. The code is creating 10 new accounts, and the org already has 5 accounts, so the total will be 15 accounts.

Option B is the way to go. Positioning the IDS/IPS at the network boundary is like having a security guard at the front door - they can see everything coming and going.
VI

C) They are easier to install and configure.
SH

B) They are placed at the boundary, allowing them to inspect all traffic.
GR

A) They do not use host system resources.

I don't know, man. As long as it doesn't interfere with my gaming, I'm good with any of these options. Wait, do network-based IDS systems play Fortnite?
VI

C) They will not interfere with user interfaces.
FE

B) They are placed at the boundary, allowing them to inspect all traffic.

Definitely B. Being able to inspect all traffic is crucial for an effective IDS/IPS. Who cares about host resources when you can catch all the bad guys!
MO

I think ease of installation is also a big plus. C)
LE
Lelia

True, but having it at the boundary is a huge advantage. B)
LO
Lottie

But don't you think host resources are important too? A)
SK
Skye

I agree, having visibility into all traffic is key for security.
LE

I'm torn between B and C. The ease of installation and configuration is also a huge plus for a network-based solution.
LO

C) They are easier to install and configure.
KA

B) They are placed at the boundary, allowing them to inspect all traffic.
DE

Option B sounds like the correct answer. Monitoring traffic at the network level is a key advantage of a network-based IDS/IPS system.
BR
Brandon

But host-based solutions are easier to install and configure, so they have their own advantages too.

I agree with Avery, network-based IDS/IPS systems have better visibility compared to host-based solutions.
