CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 754

A trusted vendor emailed a security advisory to an engineer. The advisory listed publicly disclosed security issues and resolutions for the vendor's installed network devices. Which of the following describes this security concept?

Answer options

• A. CVE
• B. Exploits
• C. Zero day
• D. SSO

Correct answer: A

Explanation

CVE, or Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures, refers to a list of publicly known cybersecurity vulnerabilities. The other options, such as Exploits, refer to methods of taking advantage of vulnerabilities, Zero day signifies newly discovered vulnerabilities without a fix, and SSO stands for Single Sign-On, which is unrelated to vulnerability disclosures.
