Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An active HIDS (Host-based Intrusion Detection System) would be the best choice as it not only monitors network traffic but can also take actions such as turning off processes and reconfiguring permissions as necessary. A firewall only controls access to a network or certain applications, a sniffer captures network traffic but does not take action based on the data, and a passive HIDS only monitors and alerts on suspicious activities but does not actively prevent them.
