Suggested Answer: A,D,E Vote an answer
A: Flow-based inspection mode uses a hybrid of the scanning modes available in proxy-based inspection.
D: the IPS engine reads the payload of each packet, caches a local copy, and forwards the packet to the receiver at the same time. some operations can be offloaded to SPUs to improve performance (not C).
E: If performance is your top priority, then flow inspection mode is more appropriate. Extra explanation:
A. Flow-based inspection uses a hybrid of the scanning modes available in proxy-based inspection.
Flow-based inspection combines aspects of both proxy-based and flow-based inspection methods to optimize performance and scanning effectiveness.
D. FortiGate buffers the whole file but transmits to the client at the same time.
In flow-based inspection, FortiGate buffers the entire file for scanning before transmitting it to the client.
This allows for comprehensive scanning without delaying the transmission to the client.
E. Flow-based inspection optimizes performance compared to proxy-based inspection.
Flow-based inspection is generally more efficient than proxy-based inspection, especially in high-traffic environments, as it does not require the buffering of entire files before delivery.
