The organization considers implementing an Intrusion Prevention System $($IPS$)$ and an Intrusion Detection System $($IDS$)$ into its security zones. The IT manager wants to secure connectivity and considers different network appliances and port security measures. Which of the following options BEST describes the benefits and disadvantages of placing the IPS$/$IDS devices inline with the network traffic?

Inline placement reduces connectivity but allows for passive detection.

Inline placement increases the attack surface but provides comprehensive traffic visibility.

Inline placement allows for active prevention measures but can become a single point of failure.

Inline placement improves port security but increases network latency.
