Which term describes the configuration state for a security device that defaults to blocking traffic when it fails or experiences an issue?
Fail-secure
Fail-passive
Fail-open
Fail-closed
Fail-closed is a security posture that ensures when a device encounters a failure, it will default to a state that blocks all traffic, reducing the risk of unauthorized access during the downtime. On the other hand, a fail-open configuration would allow all traffic through, which could be risky as it might permit unsecured or malicious traffic.
