CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 688
Which of the following documents would provide specific guidance regarding ports and protocols that should be disabled on an operating system?
Answer options
- A. Regulatory requirements
- B. Secure configuration guide
- C. Application installation guides
- D. User manuals
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is B, the Secure configuration guide, as it specifically outlines security settings, including which ports and protocols to disable for optimal system protection. The other options are less relevant; regulatory requirements may set standards but not specific configurations, application installation guides focus on software setup, and user manuals provide general usage instructions.
