Question: 1 / 400

What type of software is used to identify potential threats from malicious parties?

Network security

Firewall

A) Network security is responsible for protecting the network infrastructure from various threats, but it typically does not specifically identify potential threats from malicious parties.

C) The operating system is responsible for managing and coordinating computer hardware and software, but it does not have the specialized capabilities to identify threats from malicious parties.

D) Data recovery is the process of retrieving lost, damaged or corrupted data, so it does not actively identify potential threats from malicious parties.

A firewall, on the other hand, is a type of software that monitors incoming and outgoing network traffic and allows or blocks certain types of data based on a set of security rules. It is specifically designed to identify and block potential threats from malicious parties, making it the correct answer to the question.
