Identity, Access, and Cryptography Practice Question

Question

A learner is comparing two similar concepts for the CompTIA Security+ involving incident containment in Identity, Access, and Cryptography. Which response best applies the concept? (Item 132)

Answer choices

1. A. Use the most complex option even when a simpler compliant action directly solves the problem.
2. B. Apply a rule from a different domain even though the exam objective is different.
3. C. Choose the option that sounds familiar even if it does not fit the scenario.
4. D. The best answer is to choose the control or response that reduces risk while preserving confidentiality, integrity, availability, and accountable security operations for the incident containment scenario.

Correct Answer

D. The best answer is to choose the control or response that reduces risk while preserving confidentiality, integrity, availability, and accountable security operations for the incident containment scenario.

Explanation

The correct answer is D because incident containment 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.
