I feel like option C sounds familiar too, but that’s more about denial-of-service attacks, right? I’m confused!

I'm a little confused on this one. Is email spoofing the same as a denial-of-service attack? Or is that a different option here? I want to make sure I really understand the difference before I select an answer.

A, for sure. I remember learning about email spoofing in my cybersecurity class - it's all about forging the header to make the email look like it's from a different source. Easy peasy.

Okay, let me think this through. I know email spoofing has something to do with faking the origin of an email, so I'm leaning towards A. But I want to double-check the other options just to be sure.

This one seems pretty straightforward. I'm pretty confident that the answer is A - the forgery of an email header to make it appear to be from someone else.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I think it might be B, the criminal act of sending an illegitimate email to try to get someone's personal info. But I'm not 100% certain.

Okay, I've got this. The question is asking about resiliency, so we need a licensing type that can handle a backup or secondary license manager. That narrows it down to either Network Enterprise or Corporate Enterprise. I'll go with Network Enterprise since that's the one that specifically mentions a primary and secondary license manager.
