Question
A learner is comparing two similar concepts for the CompTIA Security+ involving vulnerability scanning in Governance, Risk, and Compliance. What should the candidate understand? (Item 26)
Answer choices
- A. Use the most complex option even when a simpler compliant action directly solves the problem.
- B. The best answer is to choose the control or response that reduces risk while preserving confidentiality, integrity, availability, and accountable security operations for the vulnerability scanning scenario.
- C. Apply a rule from a different domain even though the exam objective is different.
- D. Choose the option that sounds familiar even if it does not fit the scenario.
Correct Answer
B. The best answer is to choose the control or response that reduces risk while preserving confidentiality, integrity, availability, and accountable security operations for the vulnerability scanning scenario.
Explanation
The correct answer is B because vulnerability scanning is tested by asking candidates to choose the control or response that reduces risk while preserving confidentiality, integrity, availability, and accountable security operations. The distractors reflect common exam mistakes: ignoring context, using informal shortcuts, skipping verification, or applying a rule from the wrong domain.
