CompTIA CySA+ (CS0-001) — Question 9

An incident response report indicates a virus was introduced through a remote host that was connected to corporate resources. A cybersecurity analyst has been asked for a recommendation to solve this issue. Which of the following should be applied?

Answer options

• A. MAC
• B. TAP
• C. NAC
• D. ACL

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is NAC (Network Access Control), which helps manage and control devices connected to the network, ensuring they meet security policies before gaining access. MAC (Mandatory Access Control) and ACL (Access Control List) are related to permissions and access rights but do not specifically address the issue of remote device security. TAP (Test Access Point) is primarily used for monitoring and does not provide a solution for controlling access to the network.
