CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 28

A company deploys antivirus, anti-malware, and firewalls that can be assumed to be functioning properly. Which of the following is the MOST likely system vulnerability?

Answer options

• A. Insider threat
• B. Worms
• C. Ransomware
• D. Open ports
• E. Two-person integrity

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as insider threats involve individuals within the organization who may exploit their access to systems, which cannot be mitigated by external defenses like firewalls or antivirus software. Other options like worms, ransomware, and open ports are typically addressed by these security tools, while two-person integrity is more about procedural controls than technical vulnerabilities.
