CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 704

After patching computers with the latest application security patches/updates; users are unable to open certain applications. Which of the following will correct the issue?

Answer options

• A. Modifying the security policy for patch management tools
• B. Modifying the security policy for HIDS/HIPS
• C. Modifying the security policy for DLP
• D. Modifying the security policy for media control

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because modifying the security policy for patch management tools can directly address compatibility issues that arise after applying updates. The other options, related to HIDS/HIPS, DLP, and media control, do not specifically target the problems caused by recent application patches.
