Which of the following would allow a network administrator to analyze attacks coming from the internet without affecting latency?
The correct answer is B. IDS. An Intrusion Detection System (IDS) monitors and analyzes traffic to detect suspicious activity but does not sit in the traffic path, meaning it doesn't affect latency. In contrast, an IPS is in-line and can introduce delay.
