CompTIA Security+ (SY0-401) — Question 30

An overseas branch office within a company has many more technical and non-technical security incidents than other parts of the company. Which of the following management controls should be introduced to the branch office to improve their state of security?

Answer options

• A. Initial baseline configuration snapshots
• B. Firewall, IPS and network segmentation
• C. Event log analysis and incident response
• D. Continuous security monitoring processes

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Implementing continuous security monitoring processes will provide ongoing oversight of security incidents, allowing for immediate detection and response to threats. The other options, while beneficial, do not provide the same level of proactive and real-time security oversight necessary to address the frequent incidents occurring at the branch.
