Egress monitoring solutions usually include a function that ____________.

Using biometrics to scan users is a method for user authentication and authorization, not a core function of egress monitoring, which focuses on data flow.

Inspecting incoming packets is a function of ingress monitoring, firewalls, and intrusion detection systems, focusing on threats entering the network, which is opposite to egress monitoring.

Egress monitoring solutions, often part of Data Loss Prevention (DLP) or Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), commonly include agents or software that reside on client machines. These agents monitor and control data leaving the endpoint, inspecting for policy violations before information exits the network perimeter.

While some network egress points might use stateful inspection (e.g., firewalls), the primary function of an *egress monitoring solution* specifically designed to prevent data loss often involves endpoint agents, not just network-level stateful inspection.
