    Which one is the odd one out in the context of network

    security?
    A URL Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Firewall Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Intrusion Detection System (IDS) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Virtual Private Network (VPN) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Router Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    In the context of network security, a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) primarily identifies a resource's location on the web. The other options - Firewall, IDS, VPN, and Router - are all network security components or tools. A firewall, for instance, is designed to filter network traffic, while IDS, VPN, and routers play important roles in securing and managing network traffic. The URL is not a security component but rather an addressing scheme, making it the odd one out.
