CompTIA CASP+ (CAS-003) — Question 315

An electric car company hires an IT consulting company to improve the cybersecurity of its vehicles. Which of the following should achieve the BEST long-term result for the company?

Answer options

• A. Designing and developing add-on security components for fielded vehicles
• B. Reviewing proposed designs and prototypes for cybersecurity vulnerabilities
• C. Performing a cyber risk assessment on production vehicles
• D. Reviewing and influencing requirements for an early development vehicle

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Performing a cyber risk assessment on production vehicles (Option C) allows for a comprehensive evaluation of existing vulnerabilities and threats, ensuring that the vehicles are secure over time. The other options focus on either post-deployment or early-stage development phases, which may not address the current security posture of vehicles already on the road.
