CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) — Question 339
A recent outbreak of a virus has uncovered that a company must put a security template in place to mitigate future virus outbreaks.
Which of the following best practices would a technician MOST likely implement as part of the security template? (Choose two.)
Answer options
- A. Failed attempts lockout policy
- B. Restricting user permissions
- C. Login time restrictions
- D. Setting strong passwords
- E. Patch/update management
Correct answer: B, E
Explanation
Restricting user permissions (B) minimizes the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive data, while patch/update management (E) ensures that software vulnerabilities are fixed, reducing the likelihood of exploitation by viruses. The other options, while important, do not directly address the structural prevention of virus outbreaks as effectively as B and E.
