CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) — Question 152

Ann, a customer, calls a technician and states that she is very concerned about the privacy of her home computer and the security of her home network while browsing the Internet. Which of the following would the technician MOST likely discuss with Ann to educate her on security concepts addressing her concerns?
(Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Firewall
• B. Antivirus
• C. Email filtering
• D. ACLs
• E. VPN

Correct answer: A, E

Explanation

The correct answers, A (Firewall) and E (VPN), are essential for enhancing network security and ensuring privacy while browsing the Internet. Firewalls help to block unauthorized access, while VPNs encrypt internet traffic, providing a secure connection. Options B, C, and D, while important in their own right, do not specifically address the primary concerns of network privacy and security during browsing.
