CompTIA Security+ SY0-701 Practice Question

Install a Layer 7 firewall to actively inspect all incoming and outgoing packets.
Implement an active intrusion prevention system that inspects and potentially alters network traffic.
Use a network tap to inject custom packets for traffic shaping and policy enforcement.
Deploy a passive intrusion detection system that monitors a mirrored copy of the network traffic.
