Hmm, this question reminds me of the time I accidentally triggered the fire alarm at my old job by microwaving a Hot Pocket in the break room. Needless to say, the IPS was not amused.

This is a tough one, but I have to say, the IPS option is the way to go. I mean, who wants their PLCs to become the next target of a nasty industrial exploit? Not me, that's for sure!

Application control? Nah, that's more for managing and controlling the applications running on the network. Not really the right tool for detecting industrial exploits. Gotta go with the IPS on this one.

IPS is specifically designed to detect and prevent those kinds of exploits on PLCs.

Yeah, application control won't cut it for this. IPS is the best choice.

Antivirus? Really? I mean, sure, it can help catch some malware, but it's not really built for the kind of specialized industrial attacks we're talking about. I'd steer clear of that one.

Hmm, I'm not so sure about that. DPI might be a better option to really dive deep and analyze the traffic for any suspicious activity. Those industrial exploits can be pretty sneaky, you know.

IPS is definitely the way to go here. It's designed to detect and prevent those industrial exploits that target PLCs. Seems like the obvious choice to me.
