CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 266

Which of the following technologies is used to actively monitor for specific file types being transmitted on the network?

Answer options

• A. File integrity monitoring
• B. Honeynets
• C. Tcpreplay
• D. Data loss prevention

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Data loss prevention (D) is designed to monitor and control data being transmitted across a network, specifically focusing on preventing the unauthorized sharing of sensitive information. The other options do not specifically target the active monitoring of file types; for example, File integrity monitoring (A) checks for changes in files, Honeynets (B) are decoy systems for detecting attacks, and Tcpreplay (C) is used for replaying network traffic.
