During a risk review, you recommend deploying an inline network-based intrusion prevention system (NIPS) in front of the company's DMZ so that any malicious packets are dropped before they reach the web servers. According to standard information security control classifications, this NIPS is BEST described as which type of control?
Because the NIPS monitors traffic electronically (a logical mechanism) and automatically blocks hostile activity before it can succeed, it is a technical preventive control. Detective controls such as a passive IDS only alert after an event is observed. Physical deterrent controls (for example, security guards or warning signs) and administrative corrective controls (such as incident-response policies executed after a breach) do not fit the proactive, technology-based blocking function provided by an inline IPS.
