Question 1 of 30
In a corporate network, an Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) is deployed to monitor and analyze traffic for potential threats. During a routine analysis, the IPS detects a series of unusual packets that appear to be part of a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack targeting the company\'s web server. The IPS is configured to take immediate action upon detection of such threats. What is the most effective response the IPS should take to mitigate the attack while ensuring minimal disruption to legitimate traffic?
Rate limiting the incoming traffic to the web server based on the source IP addresses.
Blocking all incoming traffic to the web server for a specified duration.
Redirecting all traffic to a honeypot to analyze the attack vectors.
Sending alerts to the network administrator without taking any immediate action.
