[All PCCET Questions]

Which classification of IDS/IPS uses a database of known vulnerabilities and attack profiles to identify intrusion attempts?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

A knowledge-based system uses a database of known vulnerabilities and attack profiles

to identify intrusion attempts. These types of systems have lower false-alarm rates than

behavior-based systems but must be continually updated with new attack signatures to

be effective.

A behavior-based system uses a baseline of normal network activity to identify unusual

patterns or levels of network activity that may be indicative of an intrusion attempt.

These types of systems are more adaptive than knowledge-based systems and therefore

may be more effective in detecting previously unknown vulnerabilities and attacks, but

they have a much higher false-positive rate than knowledge-based systems.

Really? I always thought Statistical-based was similar.

Knowledge-based is the one that uses a database for sure.

Wait, are we sure? I thought it could be Behavior-based too.

I feel like I’ve seen Statistical-based mentioned in similar contexts, but it doesn’t seem to fit this question as well as Knowledge-based does.

I’m a bit confused; I thought Anomaly-based also used profiles, but maybe that’s more about unusual behavior rather than known attacks?

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think Knowledge-based was the right choice because it uses a database of attacks.

I think the answer might be Knowledge-based since it relies on known vulnerabilities, but I'm not entirely sure.

This one seems pretty straightforward. I think the command to move back to the Manager context is "exit".

I think I'll first cross out the option that suggests replacing the auditor's work. That's definitely not standard practice in auditing.
