CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 85

A technician discovered a company computer had a virus but was unable to remove it. The technician decided to erase the hard drive to eliminate the threat.
Which of the following policies did the technician violate?

Answer options

• A. Data loss prevention
• B. Incident response
• C. Asset disposal
• D. Acceptable use

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The technician violated the Data loss prevention policy because erasing the hard drive can lead to the loss of critical company data. While incident response may involve actions taken after discovering a threat, the primary concern in this case is the potential for data loss. The other options, Asset disposal and Acceptable use, are not directly relevant to the situation described.
