CompTIA Cloud+ (CV1-003) — Question 35

A systems administrator disabled TLS 1.0 and 1.1, as well as RC4, 3DES, and AES-128 ciphers for TLS 1.2, on a web server. A client now reports being unable to access the web server, but the administrator verifies that the server is online, the web service is running, and other users can reach the server as well.
Which of the following should the administrator recommend the user do FIRST?

Answer options

• A. Disable antivirus/anti-malware software
• B. Turn off the software firewall
• C. Establish a VPN tunnel between the computer and the web server
• D. Update the web browser to the latest version

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because updating the web browser ensures that it supports the latest security protocols required by the server. Options A and B are not advisable as they do not address the compatibility issue with TLS, and option C is unnecessary if the browser is updated to meet the server's requirements.
