Operations and Incident Response Practice Question
Question
A real-world workflow requires a practical decision for the CompTIA Security+ involving MFA in Operations and Incident Response. Which response best applies the concept? (Item 74)
Answer choices
- A. Skip verification because the previous case had the same 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 MFA scenario.
- C. Document nothing because documentation could create follow-up questions.
- D. Rely on informal custom instead of the applicable rule, control, or standard.
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 MFA scenario.
Explanation
The correct answer is B because MFA 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.
