CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 214

A cloud engineer is deploying a server in a cloud platform. The engineer reviews a security scan report. Which of the following recommended services should be disabled? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Telnet
• B. FTP
• C. Remote login
• D. DNS
• E. DHCP
• F. LDAP

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

Telnet and FTP are both considered insecure protocols as they transmit data in plaintext, making them vulnerable to interception. Disabling these services helps enhance security, while the other options, such as Remote login, DNS, DHCP, and LDAP, may have secure configurations or are essential for network functionality.
