An organization wants to deploy a honeynet to study attacker behavior. They have limited resources and need to balance the fidelity of the honeynet with the cost of maintaining it. Which approach best balances these constraints?

Use only low-interaction honeypots

Use a mix of high-interaction and low-interaction honeypots

Use only high-interaction honeypots

Which statement best describes how deception technologies improve network security?

They guarantee that no data breach can occur

They provide an additional layer of detection by creating realistic decoys that attackers cannot easily distinguish from real assets

They block all malicious traffic before it reaches the network

They eliminate the need for security awareness training

What is the role of a decoy system in network security?

To encrypt all sensitive data stored in the network

To automatically patch vulnerabilities in production servers

To block all traffic from suspicious IP addresses

To mislead attackers into wasting time on fake resources while gathering intelligence about their methods

Deception Technologies N10-009 Practice Questions (Page 5)

Part of the Network security domain, which makes up ~28% of our current practice bank. CompTIA does not publish an official question count, but from its 90-minute exam (~35–60 total, ~10–17 in this domain), expect 1–2 from this objective — we provide 25 practice questions to prepare you well beyond it.
