Explanation
### Why this is right
Each tool name points to the security function it supports: filtering email, monitoring file changes, controlling network access, or handling passwords. These tools address different parts of an organization’s environment.
### The pairs
| Item | Matches | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Email filtering | Screens email to help block unwanted or harmful messages | Filtering can help reduce exposure to malicious or unwanted email. |
| File integrity monitoring | Checks files for changes that may need investigation | Unexpected changes can indicate that a file has been altered. |
| Network access control | Controls which devices or users can connect to a network | It helps enforce rules about network connection eligibility. |
| Password management | Supports the secure handling of passwords | It helps organize and protect password use rather than leaving it unmanaged. |
### Terms
- **File integrity**: the condition of a file remaining complete and unchanged except through authorized actions.
- **Network access control**: rules and mechanisms that govern access to a network.
### Remember
Match a tool to the activity its name describes, then consider what risk that activity addresses.
