CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 363

A technician needs to harden all newly deployed network printers following a data breach. Which of the following should the technician do to BEST fulfill this need?

Answer options

• A. Install the most recent drivers.
• B. Disable wireless printing.
• C. Place all printers on a separate print server.
• D. Update to the latest firmware.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Updating to the latest firmware is crucial because it often contains security patches that address vulnerabilities. While installing recent drivers, disabling wireless printing, and placing printers on a separate print server can enhance security, they do not directly address the need for immediate security fixes provided by firmware updates.
