CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 627

A salesperson often uses a USB drive to save and move files from a corporate laptop. The coprorate laptop was recently updated, and now the files on the USB are read-only. Which of the following was recently added to the laptop?

Answer options

• A. Antivirus software
• B. File integrity check
• C. HIPS
• D. DLP

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is DLP (Data Loss Prevention), which is designed to prevent sensitive data from being transferred or leaked via removable devices like USB drives. Antivirus software, file integrity checks, and HIPS (Host Intrusion Prevention System) do not specifically restrict file access on removable media in the same way that DLP does.
