CompTIA Network+ (N10-006) — Question 63

Policies, procedures and end-user training are effective ways to mitigate:

Answer options

• A. zero-day attacks
• B. attempted DDoS attacks
• C. man-in-the-middle attacks
• D. social engineering attempts

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Policies, procedures, and end-user training are crucial in addressing social engineering attempts, as they empower users to recognize and respond to threats. However, while these measures can support overall security, they are not specifically designed to mitigate zero-day attacks, which exploit previously unknown vulnerabilities. The other options, such as attempted DDoS and man-in-the-middle attacks, typically require more technical defenses rather than user training or policies.
