An auditor needs to identify all devices connected to the network, determine which operating systems they are running, and check for known vulnerabilities. Which combination of tools would accomplish this task MOST efficiently?

Protocol analyzer and packet sniffer

Network mapper and vulnerability scanner

Port scanner and password cracker

A post-audit report lists a finding that was remediated during the audit. The auditor's final report still lists the finding as open. The administrator has evidence of the remediation. What is the BEST course of action?

Ignore the finding since it was already fixed

Provide the remediation evidence to the auditor and request the report be updated

Accept the report as final since the audit is complete

Wait for the next audit to demonstrate the remediation

A small business is preparing for its first network security audit. The owner wants to understand what the auditor will evaluate and how to prepare. Which action should the owner take FIRST?

Immediately change all network passwords

Purchase and deploy a commercial vulnerability scanner

Hire a penetration testing firm to test the network

Review the audit scope and compliance requirements with the auditor

An audit report identifies that a company's wireless network uses WEP encryption, which is easily cracked. The company has a mix of older devices that only support WEP and newer devices that support WPA3. Management wants to eliminate the WEP risk without disrupting older devices. Which remediation plan BEST addresses this constraint?

Increase the WEP key length to 128 bits

Keep WEP enabled but hide the SSID

Replace or upgrade older devices to support WPA2/WPA3, then migrate the network

Run WEP and WPA3 simultaneously on the same network
