CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 332

A technician is checking network devices to look for opportunities to improve security. Which of the following tools would BEST accomplish this task?

Answer options

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Nmap is the best choice for improving network security as it can perform comprehensive scans to identify open ports and services running on devices, helping in vulnerability assessment. While a Wi-Fi analyzer and protocol analyzer can provide useful information about wireless networks and data traffic respectively, they do not have the same level of functionality for security assessment as Nmap. An IP scanner, while useful for identifying devices on a network, lacks the depth of analysis provided by Nmap.
