CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 34

A company is running an application on a file server. A security scan reports the application has a known vulnerability. Which of the following would be the company's BEST course of action?

Answer options

• A. Upgrade the application package
• B. Tighten the rules on the firewall
• C. Install antivirus software
• D. Patch the server OS

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The best course of action is to upgrade the application package, as this will directly address the known vulnerability. Tightening firewall rules, installing antivirus software, and patching the server OS may improve overall security but will not specifically resolve the vulnerabilities in the application itself.
