CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 480

A company recently implemented a new security system. In the course of configuration, the security administrator adds the following entry:
#Whitelist

USB\VID_13FE&PID_4127&REV_0100 -
Which of the following security technologies is MOST likely being configured?

Answer options

• A. Application whitelisting
• B. HIDS
• C. Data execution prevention
• D. Removable media control

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as the entry indicates a specific USB device being allowed through the system, which aligns with removable media control. Options A, B, and C do not pertain to controlling access to USB devices; instead, they relate to application permissions, host-based intrusion detection, and preventing code execution, respectively.
