An organization uses an intrusion prevention system (IPS) inline between the internet router and the core firewall. What risk does this introduce if not managed correctly?

B is correct because an inline IPS blocks traffic based on rules; a misconfigured rule or hardware failure can interrupt legitimate business traffic, making availability a key operational risk. A is wrong because TLS decryption is a separate feature that requires proper certificate management, but it does not cause browser warnings unless the CA is not trusted. C is wrong because hardware cost is not a security risk. D is wrong because IPS placement does not expose internal IPs; NAT at the firewall handles address hiding.
