Operations and Incident Response Practice Question

Question

A scenario includes a common misconception for the CompTIA Security+ involving least privilege in Operations and Incident Response. Which statement is most accurate for exam purposes? (Item 195)

Answer choices

1. A. Prioritize convenience over safety, compliance, or accurate reasoning.
2. B. Ignore the issue because speed is more important than documentation or accuracy.
3. 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 least privilege scenario.
4. D. Assume the requirement applies only when the customer specifically asks about it.

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 least privilege scenario.

Explanation

The correct answer is C because least privilege 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.
