Answer:
C, IPS
Step-by-step explanation:
IPS is the short form for Intrusion Prevention System. The Intrusion Prevention system is one that is used in computer security that helps to monitor the traffic that accesses a network as well as notify the network administrator of suspicious traffic to the network.
Simply put, IPS is a network intrusion prevention system that helps in securing a network by dealing with unwanted and/or malicious traffic.
When a network is setup, Intrusion prevention is designed along side the network. This makes it possible for unwanted or malicious traffic to be detected through notification and hence the administrator can handle the traffic.
