Identity, Access, and Cryptography Practice Question

Question

A client-facing situation requires a compliant response for the CompTIA Security+ involving vulnerability scanning in Identity, Access, and Cryptography. What should the candidate understand? (Item 106)

Answer choices

1. A. Rely on informal custom instead of the applicable rule, control, or standard.
2. 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.
3. C. Skip verification because the previous case had the same answer.
4. D. Document nothing because documentation could create follow-up questions.

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.
