CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 424

Users report the following message appears when browsing to the company's secure site: This website cannot be trusted. Which of the following actions should a security analyst take to resolve these messages? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Verify the certificate has not expired on the server.
• B. Ensure the certificate has a .pfx extension on the server.
• C. Update the root certificate into the client computer certificate store.
• D. Install the updated private key on the web server.
• E. Have users clear their browsing history and relaunch the session.

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

Option A is correct because an expired certificate will trigger trust warnings. Option C is also correct as updating the root certificate on the client machine ensures it recognizes the certificate from the server. Options B, D, and E do not address the root cause of the trust issue and may not resolve the error message users are encountering.
