CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-002) — Question 57

A security firm is discussing the results of a penetration test with the client. Based on the findings, the client wants to focus the remaining time on a critical network segment. Which of the following BEST describes the action taking place?

Answer options

• A. Maximizing the likelihood of finding vulnerabilities
• B. Reprioritizing the goals/objectives
• C. Eliminating the potential for false positives
• D. Reducing the risk to the client environment

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as the client is adjusting their focus based on the test findings, which reflects a change in their objectives. Options A and D are related to risk management but do not specifically address the focus on goals. Option C is irrelevant in this context, as it discusses false positives rather than the prioritization of testing efforts.
