Exam 312-49v10 topic 1 question 347 discussion

The correct answer is D. Network attack. A volumetric DDOS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack is a type of network attack where an attacker attempts to flood a network or system with a large amount of traffic in order to overwhelm it and make it unavailable. This is a classic example of a network attack, aimed at disrupting the availability of the targeted system. Here's a brief overview of the other options: A. IDS attack: An attack on the Intrusion Detection System itself, not the type of attack described. B. APT: Advanced Persistent Threat, a targeted attack, not a volumetric attack. C. Web application attack: An attack targeting a specific web application, not a network-wide attack.
