CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1201) — Question 28

A technician is installing a new printer. After registering the printer, the technician receives an email from the manufacturer stating there is a security vulnerability that can be remediated. Which of the following steps should the technician take next?

Answer options

• A. Disable wireless connectivity.
• B. Enable audit logging.
• C. Update the firmware.
• D. Disable the default gateway on the printer.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct step is to update the firmware, as this action typically addresses security vulnerabilities by applying necessary patches. Disabling wireless connectivity and the default gateway may limit functionality without resolving the vulnerability, while enabling audit logging does not directly fix the security issue.
