Answer
- C Identifying applications regardless of port
- D Integrated intrusion prevention (IPS)
Explanation
NGFWs go beyond ports and addresses: they identify applications, incorporate user identities and often include IPS, URL filtering and threat intelligence. This makes rules such as "Sales may use the CRM" possible. Login and backups remain separate tasks.
