Question
A real-world workflow requires a practical decision for the CompTIA Security+ involving network segmentation in Identity, Access, and Cryptography. Which response best applies the concept? (Item 187)
Answer choices
- A. Ignore the issue because speed is more important than documentation or accuracy.
- B. Assume the requirement applies only when the customer specifically asks about it.
- C. The best answer is to choose the control or response that reduces risk while preserving confidentiality, integrity, availability, and accountable security operations for the network segmentation scenario.
- D. Prioritize convenience over safety, compliance, or accurate reasoning.
Correct Answer
C. The best answer is to choose the control or response that reduces risk while preserving confidentiality, integrity, availability, and accountable security operations for the network segmentation scenario.
Explanation
The correct answer is C because network segmentation 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.
