CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-003) — Question 207

During a penetration testing engagement, a tester targets the internet-facing services used by the client. Which of the following describes the type of assessment that should be considered in this scope of work?

Answer options

• A. Segmentation
• B. Mobile
• C. External
• D. Web

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is 'External' because it specifically refers to assessing services that are accessible from outside the organization's network, such as those exposed to the internet. 'Segmentation' deals with dividing networks, 'Mobile' pertains to mobile platforms, and 'Web' is too broad as it doesn't specify the external aspect of the services being targeted.
