CompTIA Network+ (N10-006) — Question 78

Which of the following provides the MOST protection against zero day attacks via email attachments?

Answer options

• A. Anti-spam
• B. Anti-virus
• C. Host-based firewalls
• D. Patch management

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Anti-spam solutions are designed to filter and block potentially harmful emails, which includes those containing zero day exploits. While anti-virus programs can provide some level of protection, they may not detect new threats immediately. Host-based firewalls and patch management are important for overall security but do not specifically target email attachments as effectively as anti-spam solutions.
