CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 295

A web server that is being deployed in the perimeter network needs to be shielded from malicious traffic. Which of the following could help identify these threats?

Answer options

• A. Applying OS updates
• B. Disabling unused services
• C. Implementing HIDS
• D. Installing anti-malware

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Implementing HIDS (Host Intrusion Detection System) is specifically designed to monitor and analyze system activities for signs of malicious behavior, making it the best choice for identifying threats. While applying OS updates, disabling unused services, and installing anti-malware are important security practices, they do not focus directly on threat detection in the same way that HIDS does.
