COMPTIA SECURITY+ QUESTIONS | TESTED AND
PROVEN ANSWERS | LATEST UPDATE 2024/2025
100% (GRADE A+)
Vulnerability Scanner
Ans>> An application that identifies security issues on a network and gives suggestions on how
to prevent the issues. A management control type.
Port Scanner
Ans>> An application that identifies ports and services that are at risk on a network.
IDS
Ans>> An application that detects when network intrusions occur and identifies the appropriate
personnel..
Virus Scanner
Ans>> An application that protects a system against viruses.
NAT Server
1
,Ans>> Presents public IP addresses to the internet on behalf of computers on a private network.
Proxy Server
Ans>> Can be used to enable hosts to access Internet resources. Can increase the performance
of a network by cachig Web pages, which can reduce the amount of time required for clients to

, RAID Level 0
Ans>> Disk striping. Stripes data across the drives to improve disk read/write efficiency. Does
not provide redundancy.
RAID Level 1
Ans>> Disk mirroring or disk duplexing. Any data written to disk one is also written to disk two.
Provides redundancy.
RAID Level 5
Ans>> Disk striping with parity and data across all disks in the array. Requires at least three
