Which of the following is true about Stateful Inspection?
The correct answer is C. Stateful Inspection requires that a server reply to a request, in order to track a connection’s state. Stateful Inspection tracks the state of active connections by monitoring the state of the connection and the context of the traffic. It requires that a server reply to a request to maintain and update the state of the connection in its state table. This allows it to make more informed decisions about whether to allow or block traffic based on the state of the connection.
