Lesson 01: Firewalls Quiz Answers

Question: Which type of firewall was the first generation of firewalls?

• Packet filter

• Application layer

• Next-generation firewall (NGFW)

• Stateful

Question: Complete the sentence: A packet filter firewall controls network traffic based on ___________.

• network addresses, protocols, and ports.

• the behavior of the network connections.

• filtering layers 2–7 of the OSI model.

• application behavior or characteristics.

Question: What was a limitation of first-generation firewalls?

• Granular policy capability made managing the firewall too complex

• Produced many false positives, thereby overwhelming IT security

• Opened random ports and used multiple connections

• Filtered only at Layer 3 of the OSI model

Question: Which identifying feature differentiates an NGFW firewall from earlier types of firewalls?

• Filters by protocol

• Examines data in the packets

• Uses rule-based decision-making

• Monitors IP addresses and ports

Question: In a UTM firewall, which component monitors protocols, such as FTP and HTTP?

• Protocol filter

• Transport layer filter

• Application layer filter

• Web filter

Question: Which three elements does a stateful firewall track when determining whether to allow or deny a TCP/IP connection? (Choose three.)

• User behavior

• Source IP address

• Protocol in use

• Destination port

• Type of application connected to

Question: Which three traits are characteristics of a next generation firewall (NGFW)? (Choose three.)

• Inspects only unencrypted packets

• Controls network traffic based only on network address

• Can segment a network based on user, device, and application type

• Uses AI to enforce security policies

• Delivers high-performance inspection

Question 1: Which three traits are characteristics of a next generation firewall (NGFW)? (Choose three.)

Question 4: What was a limitation of first-generation firewalls?

• Produced many false positives, thereby overwhelming IT security

• Filtered only at layer 3 of the OSI model

• Granular policy capability made managing the firewall too complex
