Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

NAT (Network Address Translation) enhances security by preventing external entities from learning internal IP addresses, as it translates these private addresses into a single public address or a set of public addresses. This makes it more difficult for potential attackers to directly target internal network devices. NAT does not inherently provide encryption, which is a separate mechanism for securing data.
