CompTIA Security+ Exam Prep

Answer: B - When a company decides to use a computer to set up a sacrificial lamb on a network, they are creating a honeypot. This is to entice a would-be attacker to this computer instead of attacking authentic production systems on a network. The honeypot contains no real company information and thus will not be at risk if and when it is attacked. It also enables the administrator to know when certain types of attacks are happening so the environment can be fortified to track down the attacker.
