Selected Answer: A
The most helpful tool for an IS auditor assessing the reliability of an organization's network is a protocol analyzer. A protocol analyzer is a tool that captures and analyzes network traffic at the protocol level. It provides insights into the types of traffic, the volume, and the interactions between devices on the network. This tool is valuable for assessing the reliability of a network because it helps in identifying issues such as network congestion, bottlenecks, and abnormal patterns of communication.

A. Protocol analyzer A protocol analyzer, also known as a packet sniffer or network analyzer, is a tool that allows an auditor to capture and analyze network traffic. While the other options (B. Online monitoring, C. Downtime report, D. Response time report) can provide valuable information, a protocol analyzer is the most comprehensive tool for assessing network reliability as it offers real-time monitoring and detailed analysis of network traffic and behavior.

A protocol analyzer, also known as a packet sniffer or network analyzer, is a tool that allows an auditor to capture and analyze network traffic. This tool can help the auditor assess the reliability of the network by: Identifying network vulnerabilities: Protocol analyzers can detect suspicious or unauthorized traffic patterns, helping the auditor identify potential security breaches or vulnerabilities. Performance analysis: They can analyze the performance of the network by monitoring the flow of data packets, identifying bottlenecks, and assessing response times. Compliance checks: Protocol analyzers can be used to check whether the network is complying with established protocols and security standards.
