Threats, Attacks, and Vulnerabilities Practice Question

Question

A supervisor reviews a case with a trainee for the CompTIA Security+ involving network segmentation in Threats, Attacks, and Vulnerabilities. Which response best applies the concept? (Item 127)

Answer choices

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

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 network segmentation scenario.

Explanation

The correct answer is C because network segmentation 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.
