CompTIA Network+ N10-009 Practice Question

Conducting a risk assessment involves identifying potential threats and vulnerabilities and then analyzing the probable impact and likelihood of these risks occurring. This process includes evaluating both internal and external threats, thus providing a comprehensive view of security priorities that can guide security enhancements effectively. While penetration testing, monitoring user behavior, and implementing new security policies are important, they do not provide a broad assessment of potential vulnerabilities like a risk assessment does.
