CompTIA ITF+ (FC0-U71) — Question 4

A user receives a notification about a new software vulnerability. Which of the following is the best way to secure the software?

Answer options

• A. Configuring a firewall
• B. Applying updates
• C. Enabling authentication
• D. Uninstalling the program

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The most effective way to secure the software against vulnerabilities is by applying updates, as these often include security patches that fix known issues. Configuring a firewall, enabling authentication, or uninstalling the program may provide some level of protection, but they do not directly address the vulnerability in the software itself.
