During an external audit, it's found that a company’s firewall is not inspecting encrypted traffic. This oversight highlights a limitation of ____________.
- Deep Packet Inspection (DPI)
- Network Address Translation (NAT)
- Stateful Inspection
- Transport Layer Security (TLS)
Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) is a firewall feature that analyzes the content of network packets. If a firewall is not inspecting encrypted traffic, DPI limitations are exposed. Encrypted traffic can conceal malicious activities, making it essential for firewalls to decrypt and inspect encrypted data. Understanding DPI limitations is crucial for enhancing security measures and ensuring comprehensive inspection of network traffic during audits.__________________________________________________
