Question

a network administrator sets up a stateless firewall using an open-source application running on a linux virtual machine. the immediate benefit of this setup is that it was easy to set up quickly with basic rules. what other reasons may have influenced the administrator's decision to deploy a stateless rather than a stateful firewall? (select all that apply.)

Answer 1

Answer & Explanation:

- Handles crashes and power cuts well as state does not need to be preserved and it cannot be corrupted by a sudden loss of power
- Data storage is not required on the Linux vm as state is not stored
- Open source applications are secure as anyone can compile the source code for themselves. This means that malware embedded in the firewall is easy to spot.
