CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 441

A Chief Information Officer wants to monitor network breaching in a passive, controlled manner. Which of the following would be BEST to implement?

Answer options

• A. Honeypot
• B. Perimeter network
• C. Intrusion prevention system
• D. Port security

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, a Honeypot, because it is specifically designed to attract and monitor unauthorized access attempts without interfering with normal network operations. The other options, such as a Perimeter network and Intrusion prevention system, focus on active defense mechanisms rather than passive monitoring, while Port security is more about controlling access to network ports.
