Joe is a security architect who is tasked with choosing a new NIPS platform that has the ability to perform SSL inspection, analyze up to 10Gbps of traffic, can be
centrally managed and only reveals inspected application payload data to specified internal security employees. Which of the following steps should Joe take to
reach the desired outcome?
A.
Research new technology vendors to look for potential products. Contribute to an RFP and then evaluate RFP responses to ensure that the vendor product
meets all mandatory requirements.
Test the product and make a product recommendation.
B.
Evaluate relevant RFC and ISO standards to choose an appropriate vendor product. Research industry surveys, interview existing customers of the product and
then recommend that the product be purchased.
C.
Consider outsourcing the product evaluation and ongoing management to an outsourced provider on the basis that each of the requirements are met and a
lower total cost of ownership (TCO) is achieved.
D.
Choose a popular NIPS product and then consider outsourcing the ongoing device management to a cloud provider. Give access to internal security employees
so that they can inspect the application payload data.
E.
Ensure that the NIPS platform can also deal with recent technological advancements, such as threats emerging from social media, BYOD and cloud storage
prior to purchasing the product.
