What should a security administrator prioritize after implementing comprehensive network security measures?

Physical security of network devices
Securing end-point devices and host security
Network performance optimization
Vendor management and procurement

The correct answer is: Securing end-point devices and host security

After implementing comprehensive network security measures, prioritizing the security of end-point devices and host security is crucial. End-point devices, such as laptops, desktops, and mobile devices, are often the last line of defense against security threats. They can be vulnerable to malware, unauthorized access, and other attacks that might bypass network security measures. Ensuring that these devices are adequately secured helps to protect the entire network from potential breaches and data loss. Additionally, securing host systems involves implementing robust endpoint protection measures, including antivirus software, firewalls, and intrusion detection systems. It also includes regular software updates and vulnerability management practices. By focusing on end-point security, a security administrator reduces the attack surface and increases the overall resilience of the network against evolving threats. While other areas such as physical security, network performance optimization, and vendor management are important, they typically come after ensuring that the devices that connect to the network are secure. A strong end-point security strategy complements and strengthens the comprehensive network security that has already been established.
