An organization is introducing a new system to disrupt unwanted transmissions before they harm critical servers. Which strategy supports that goal and helps maintain continuous traffic flow?
A detection process that generates alerts for malicious content but allows the data to pass
A firewall that places all sessions in a holding area before approving regular traffic
A passive scanner that reviews event logs and notifies administrators of anomalies afterward
An inline mechanism that inspects ongoing transmissions and blocks questionable packets
An inline mechanism monitors the flow between source and destination and actively disrupts unsafe connections. By blocking suspicious behavior as it occurs, harmful data never reaches protected servers. A device that only provides notifications or looks at logs later does not stop attacks in progress. A firewall that quarantines all traffic could cause severe delays and hamper normal data exchange. A detection device that does not interrupt questionable activity leaves a gap in protection.

Why is a detection device that doesn't block activity insufficient for protecting servers?
