How can you control the handling of abnormal packets by the network engine?

The correct choice focuses on an essential aspect of network security management concerning abnormal packets. Configuring Anti-Evasion settings specifically allows for the customization of how the Deep Security network engine deals with packets that exhibit unexpected characteristics or behavior. This feature is crucial because abnormal packets can be indicative of malicious activity, such as intrusion attempts or evasion tactics used by attackers to bypass security measures.

With Anti-Evasion settings, administrators can dictate whether to drop, log, or allow these packets based on their packet attributes and behavior. By utilizing this feature, organizations can better protect their networks from potential threats associated with abnormal packet handling.

The other options do not directly address the management of abnormal packets in the same manner. System settings may include various configurations but do not specifically pertain to packet handling behaviors. Tuning network bandwidth is focused on optimizing network performance rather than security. Adjustments to firewall hardware, while potentially beneficial for overall network security, do not offer granular control over packet analysis or response mechanisms in the way Anti-Evasion settings do.
