CompTIA CySA+ (CS0-002) — Question 206

A new prototype for a company’s flagship product was leaked on the internet. As a result, the management team has locked out all USB dives. Optical drive writers are not present on company computers. The sales team has been granted an exception to share sales presentation files with third parties. Which of the following would allow the IT team to determine which devices are USB enabled?

Answer options

• A. Asset tagging
• B. Device encryption
• C. Data loss prevention
• D. SIEM logs

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Asset tagging helps the IT team track and manage hardware assets, including identifying USB-enabled devices. Device encryption and data loss prevention are focused on securing data rather than identifying hardware capabilities. SIEM logs monitor security events but do not provide specific information about the hardware configuration of devices.
