CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 317

Which of the following is a deployment concept that can be used to ensure only the required OS access is exposed to software applications?

Answer options

• A. Staging environment
• B. Sandboxing
• C. Secure baseline
• D. Trusted OS

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Sandboxing is the correct answer because it isolates applications in a controlled environment, limiting their access to the underlying OS and resources. The other options, such as Staging environment and Secure baseline, do not specifically focus on restricting OS access for applications, while Trusted OS refers to systems designed with a focus on security but does not directly relate to the deployment of applications.
