You work for a company that sells products over the Internet. Every time a sale is made, a database record of the transaction is transmitted from the demilitarized zone (DMZ) to the database server in the private network where the database resides. You use a network-based IDS (NIDS) to monitor the network traffic from the DMZ to the private network. A Web server that supports your e-commerce solution is used in the DMZ. A denial of service (DoS) attack is detected by the NIDS. Which of the following is the least desirable response from the NIDS?

Question 6 options:

Recording the incident in a report log.

Disabling the communication link between the DMZ and the private network.

Notifying the network administrator of the issue.

Blocking packets with the same source IP address as the original DoS packets.
