CompTIA A+ Certification 220-1001: The Total Course - Dealing with Threats

Why is it crucial to regularly patch your systems?

• To improve system performance

• To enhance user interface

• To reduce system vulnerabilities

• To increase storage capacity

What is the primary function of a host-based firewall?

• To manage software updates

• To protect against unauthorized access

• To enhance system speed

• To increase internet bandwidth

How do intrusion detection systems (IDS) notify administrators of potential threats?

• By increasing network speed

• By updating the system software

• By sending notifications like emails or texts

• By automatically blocking the threat

What is a key advantage of intrusion prevention systems (IPS) over intrusion detection systems (IDS)?

• IPS can automatically take action to stop threats

• IPS improve system performance

• IPS are cheaper than IDS

• IPS require no maintenance

What is the role of endpoint management in network security?

• To manage user accounts

• To ensure anti-malware and patching are up to date

• To increase network speed

• To provide user training

What does unified threat management (UTM) aim to achieve?

• To enhance user interface design

• To focus solely on anti-malware protection

• To integrate multiple security measures into one solution

• To separate security functions into different systems

What is a benefit of cloud-based UTM solutions?

• They offer real-time monitoring from any location

• They require no internet connection

• They do not require any hardware

• They are free of cost
