Inline deployment places a security device directly in the network traffic path for real-time inspection and blocking, while passive (out-of-band) deployment inspects a copy of traffic without affecting the live flow.
Inline vs Definition: Inline deployment places a security device directly in the network traffic path for real-time inspection and blocking, while passive (out-of-band) deployment inspects a copy of traffic without affecting the live flow.
Inline refers to a cybersecurity deployment method where security measures are integrated directly into the network traffic flow, allowing for real-time inspection and monitoring of data packets. In contrast, passive (out-of-band) deployment processes a copy of the traffic without sitting in the data path, allowing it to be inspected without affecting or blocking the live flow, which is less intrusive but cannot actively block threats in real time.
