What is SPI a function of?

  1. Web servers

  2. Firewalls

  3. Network switches

  4. Antivirus software

The correct answer is: Firewalls

SPI stands for Stateful Packet Inspection, which is a security mechanism used by firewalls to monitor incoming and outgoing network traffic. Web servers, network switches, and antivirus software are not directly related to SPI as they serve different functions. Web servers are used to host websites and web applications, network switches are used to connect devices on a network, and antivirus software is used to protect against malware and other malicious threats. While these technologies may work in conjunction with firewalls to provide network security, they are not the primary function of SPI. Therefore, the most accurate answer is B Firewalls.
