Protecting network devices from physical damage caused by water or electricity is a necessary part of the security policy.

 

2. Which two statements are true about network attacks? (Choose two.)

Worms require human interaction to spread, viruses do not.

Reconnaissance attacks are always electronic in nature, such as ping sweeps or port scans.

A brute-force attack searches to try every possible password from a combination of characters.
