Section B: Match the Pairs
Q1
AI-based network security software → Learns normal network behaviour and flags deviations from it
Q2
Darktrace → A well-known example of AI-based network security software
Q3
The learned pattern of normal network activity → Behavioural baseline
Q4
Detecting a threat without a known malware signature → Anomaly-based detection
Q5
AI security software only detects threats with known signatures → Wrong - it detects threats by spotting deviations from a learned baseline
Q6
AI security software ignores all network traffic → Wrong - it actively monitors traffic to learn what is normal

Q1
A — AI security tools do learn normal patterns to spot deviations.
Q2
A — AI tools do monitor traffic; they don't ignore it.
Q3
B — AI tools detect threats without needing known signatures.
Q4
B — AI tools must learn a baseline to know what's normal.
Q5
C — AI tools flag deviations - they don't ignore them.
