Which of the answers listed below refers to an IEEE standard that can be implemented in a situation where an Ethernet switch acts as an authenticator for devices that intend to connect to a network through one of its ports?
A) IEEE 802.1X
B) IEEE 802.11ac

Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) is an authentication framework frequently used in wireless networks and point-to-point connections. EAP provides an authentication framework, not a specific authentication mechanism. There are many authentication mechanisms (referred to as EAP methods) that can be used with EAP. Wireless networks take advantage of several EAP methods, including PEAP, LEAP, EAP-FAST, EAP-TLS, and EAP-TTLS.
A) True
B) False
A) True
Which of the following EAP methods offers the highest level of security?
A) PEAP
B) EAP-FAST
C) EAP-TLS
D) EAP-TTLS
C) EAP-TLS
A dedicated security solution that filters, monitors, and blocks HTTP/HTTPS traffic between a web application and the Internet is called:
A) UTM
B) NGFW
C) UEM
D) WAF
D) WAF
The term “Unified Threat Management” (UTM) refers to a network security solution, commonly in the form of a dedicated device (called UTM appliance or web security gateway), which combines the functionality of a firewall with additional features such as URL filtering, content inspection, spam filtering, gateway antivirus protection, IDS/IPS function, or malware inspection.
A) True
B) False
A) True
Which of the answers listed below refers to a firewall type that improves upon first- and second-generation firewalls by offering additional features, such as more in-depth inspection of network traffic and application-level inspection?
A) IDS
B) Packet filter
C) NGFW
D) Stateful firewall
C) NGFW
