CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 88

A network administrator is planning to implement device monitoring to enhance network visibility. The security team requires that the solution provides authentication and encryption. Which of the following meets these requirements?

Answer options

• A. SIEM
• B. Syslog
• C. NetFlow
• D. SNMPv3

Correct answer: D

Explanation

SNMPv3 is the correct choice because it supports both authentication and encryption, which are essential for secure network monitoring. In contrast, SIEM is primarily for security information management, Syslog does not provide encryption, and NetFlow is focused on traffic analysis rather than security features.
