Operations and Incident Response Practice Question

Question

A professional is deciding the best next action for the CompTIA Security+ involving vulnerability scanning in Operations and Incident Response. What should the candidate understand? (Item 86)

Answer choices

1. A. Skip verification because the previous case had the same answer.
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. Document nothing because documentation could create follow-up questions.
4. 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 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.
