CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) — Question 147

After a virus outbreak due to USB usage, a technician must deny users access to removable hard drives via USB ports as soon as possible. The technician has been asked to avoid interrupting any users. Which of the following is the BEST way for the technician to perform this security feature?

Answer options

• A. Push a group policy
• B. Assign a local security policy
• C. Create a network login script
• D. Update the AUP

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as assigning a local security policy can effectively restrict access to USB ports without affecting the entire network and allows for immediate implementation. Options A and C would require more time and could disrupt users, while option D does not directly address the technical access control needed.
