As a security professional, I'm impressed by this device's quick reflexes. But as a cat owner, I'm a little worried it might start randomly batting at my internet packets just for fun.

Network access control? Nah, this is way more advanced than that. This is a security device that can see into the packets, analyze them, and respond in real-time. I'm putting my money on Intrusion Prevention System.

I'm going with C, Intrusion Prevention System. The fact that it recognized the anomaly and took immediate action to stop the attack, but still let the first packet through, is a dead giveaway.

Active response, for sure! Blocking the malicious traffic and sending a reset to the source is a classic active defense move. I bet the security team high-fived each other after that one.

Hmm, this seems like an intrusion prevention system (IPS) to me. It detected the malicious anomaly and sent a TCP RST to the source, but the first packet still made it to the destination. Gotta love those lightning-fast response times!

I'm not sure, but it could also be Active response since it sent a TCP RST to the source.

I agree with Monte, because it detected the malicious anomaly and took action to prevent it.

I think the security device is an Intrusion prevention system.
