Palo Alto Networks Cybersecurity Entry-Level Technician (PCCET) — Question 114

What is the key to `taking down` a botnet?

Answer options

• A. prevent bots from communicating with the C2
• B. install openvas software on endpoints
• C. use LDAP as a directory service
• D. block Docker engine software on endpoints

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because disrupting the communication between bots and their command and control (C2) servers is crucial for neutralizing their operations. The other options do not directly address the communication aspect of botnets, making them ineffective in taking down a botnet.
