Free CompTIA Security+ SY0-701 Practice Question

Your organization is employing multiple security measures to protect against various cyber threats. You have come across findings that suggest a potentially compromised website that is often visited by the research department. Which security measure in place is best suited to investigate whether this scenario is indicative of a sophisticated cyber threat aiming to exploit the frequent visitors of this website?

  • The SiteContentValidator should be deployed to check the website for known indicators of compromise such as malware or unexpected content changes.

  • The DomainReputationChecker would provide the best insights into whether the website's sudden suspicious nature is part of a watering hole attack by evaluating its trustworthiness based on various reputational factors.

  • The SuspiciousAnalysisTool should be used to detect any anomalies in network traffic that could indicate complex cyber threats or attack patterns against the organization.

  • The TrafficFilteringGateway would be the key to determining whether the website's traffic is part of a larger, targeted campaign against the research department's online activities.
