She finds entries in the host firewall logs indicating that the traffic was allowed. What is the most likely cause of the service not responding? A. Application failure B. Host firewall misconfiguration C. Network IPS misconfiguration D. Network firewall misconfiguration Correct Answer: A. The fact that the packets are reaching the host rules out a network firewall or IPS issue. The fact that the logs indicate that the traffic was allowed rules out a host firewall issue. Therefore, the most likely remaining cause is an issue with the application. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]...
