Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The given scenario describes a distributed firewall configuration, which consists of stand-alone firewall devices and host-based firewalls working together under a central administrative control. This approach provides multiple layers of protection to the network, as external traffic is filtered by the stand-alone firewall devices, while internal traffic is controlled by the host-based firewalls on individual systems. Hence, option B is the correct choice. Option A describes a type of firewall technology, while option C describes a personal firewall that is installed on a single computer. Option D describes a firewall technology that keeps track of the state and context of network connections.
