Which three reasons to deploy an IDS sensor in promiscuous mode when you design a security solution are true? (Choose three.)
A) Solution should be resistant to sensor failure.
B) Solution should allow for stream normalization.
C) Solution should not impact jitter and latency for voice traffic.
D) Solution should allow for signature-based pattern matching.
E) Solution should allow to deny packets inline.

Deploying an IDS sensor in promiscuous mode ensures that the solution is resistant to sensor failure (A) because it does not interfere with the traffic flow. It also does not impact jitter and latency for voice traffic (C) since it only monitors and does not alter the traffic. Additionally, it allows for signature-based pattern matching (D) as it can analyze traffic for known threats without being inline.
