I. Recall the purpose of a control strategy is to determine how an organization maintains and supervises the configuration of an IDPS.
II. Examine the differences between centralized, partially distributed, or fully distributed strategies.
• A centralized IDPS control strategy implements and manages all IDPS control functions in a central location.
• A fully distributed IDPS control strategy distributes all control functions that are applied at the physical location of each IDPS component.
• A partially distributed IDPS control strategy combines the best of the other two strategies. While the individual agents can still analyze and respond to local threats, they report to a hierarchical central facility to enable the organization to detect widespread attacks.
