A compromised Wi-Fi laptop on the city network begins unusual lateral protocols toward internal hosts. Which control is best positioned to identify that behavior in transit?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Weird lateral chatter from a Wi-Fi client needs inspection in the path. A next-gen firewall that spots rogue protocols helps. Renaming the SSID or fixing wallpaper does not see the packets.
Full Explanation
Next-generation firewalls can inspect traffic originating from WLAN clients and identify unexpected lateral protocols indicative of compromise. That wired-path visibility complements wireless controls for municipal networks. SSID renames, display schedules, or cosmetic endpoint settings do not analyze lateral application behavior.
