CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 222

A security administrator wants to discover zero-day attacks before they can be used on the company’s network. Which of the following can the administrator use to accomplish this task?

Answer options

• A. Central repository
• B. Honeypot
• C. Next-generation firewall
• D. Evil twin

Correct answer: B

Explanation

A honeypot is designed to attract attackers and can help detect zero-day attacks by monitoring malicious activity in a controlled environment. The other options, such as a central repository, next-generation firewall, and evil twin, do not specifically target the identification of unknown vulnerabilities as effectively as a honeypot does.
