[All PCSFE Questions]

Which offering can gain visibility and prevent an attack by a malicious actor attempting to exploit a known web server vulnerability using encrypted communication?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Inbound Inspection is the offering that can gain visibility and prevent an attack by a malicious actor attempting to exploit a known web server vulnerability using encrypted communication. SSL Inbound Inspection is a feature that allows the firewall to decrypt and inspect inbound SSL/TLS traffic from external clients to internal servers. SSL Inbound Inspection can gain visibility and prevent an attack by a malicious actor attempting to exploit a known web server vulnerability using encrypted communication by applying threat prevention technologies, such as antivirus, anti-spyware, vulnerability protection, URL filtering, file blocking, data filtering, and WildFire analysis, to the decrypted traffic and blocking any malicious content or activity. OCSP, Advanced URL Filtering (AURLF), and WildFire are not offerings that can gain visibility and prevent an attack by a malicious actor attempting to exploit a known web server vulnerability using encrypted communication, but they are related solutions that can enhance security and visibility.

Really? I thought AURLF was more about filtering than visibility.
