When installing an intrusion detection system (IDS), which of the following is MOST important?
A.
Properly locating it in the network architecture
B.
Preventing denial-of-service (DoS) attacks
C.
Identifying messages that need to be quarantined
D.
Minimizing the rejection errors
Explanation:
Proper location of an intrusion detection system (IDS) in the network is the most important decision during
installation. A poorly located IDS could leave key areas of the network unprotected. Choices B, C and D are
concerns during the configuration of an IDS, but if the IDS is not placed correctly, none of them would be
adequately addressed.
