CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 216

Users of a public website that is hosted on a cloud platform are receiving a message indicating the connection is not secure when landing on the website. The administrator has found that only a single protocol is opened to the service and accessed through the URL https://www.comptiasite.com. Which of the following would MOST likely resolve the issue?

Answer options

• A. Renewing the expired certificate
• B. Updating the web-server software
• C. Changing the crypto settings on the web server
• D. Upgrading the users' browser to the latest version

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A: Renewing the expired certificate, as an expired SSL/TLS certificate can cause browsers to flag the connection as insecure. Options B and C may improve security or performance but would not directly address the expired certificate issue. Option D is less relevant, as the problem lies with the server certificate rather than the users' browser versions.
