Which DMZ component acts as an intermediary between external users and internal servers, enhancing security by providing additional controls over web traffic?

• Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS)

• Routers

• Proxy Servers

• Web Application Firewalls (WAF)

What is the primary function of an Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) in the context of a DMZ?

• Filtering and monitoring HTTP traffic

• Enforcing access policies

• Actively blocking or preventing detected threats

• Directing and managing network traffic between segments

Which DMZ component focuses on protecting web applications hosted in the DMZ by filtering and monitoring HTTP traffic for potential vulnerabilities and attacks?
