A technician is installing new network equipment in a SOHO and wants to ensure the equipment is secured against external threats on the Internet. Which of the following actions should the technician do FIRST?
A.
Lock all devices in a closet.
B.
Ensure all devices are from the same manufacturer.
C.
Change the default administrative password.
D.
Install the latest operating system and patches.
C is correct because you want to change the default administrator password because the default password is considered insecure. The reason is that default passwords can be easy for the attacker to guess for example the username is admin and the password is password (cisco for Cisco, and pfsense for PfSense). SuperAdmin and P@$$w0rd is more secure.
Yes, I believe so as this sort of question was answered before. You would first have to change default passwords and then you could do other things such as installing the latest operating system and patches.
