In a networking team meeting, a security analyst suggests deploying a special type of information system to attract and analyze potential threats that are present on the network. What is the best term to describe this kind of system?
The correct answer is a honeypot. A honeypot is a security resource that is intentionally designed to be probed, attacked, or compromised, allowing analysts to gather information about attacks. The other options presented do not specifically target threat attraction and analysis in the same way honeypots do. While a firewall and an IDS monitor and protect systems, they do not serve the primary function of attracting attackers for the purpose of analysis.
