ITPEC FE Morning April 2022 — Question 45 of 80

Honeypot — a deliberately vulnerable system deployed to study attacker behavior.

A honeypot is a decoy system or network intentionally left exposed to attract intruders or malware, allowing security teams to observe and analyze attack techniques.

Why not others:
- (a) Botnet — a network of compromised machines controlled by an attacker

- (b) DMZ — a network segment that isolates public-facing services from the internal network

- (d) SIEM — a platform that collects and correlates security logs for threat detection

Key rule: Honeypot = intentionally vulnerable decoy for research; DMZ = network isolation zone; SIEM = log analysis platform.
