CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 337

A security administrator would like to ensure all cloud servers will have software preinstalled for facilitating vulnerability scanning and continuous monitoring. Which of the following concepts should the administrator utilize?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Provisioning is the correct answer because it involves preparing and equipping cloud servers with necessary software and configurations before they go live. Staging, listed in options B and C, refers to preparing environments for testing rather than for deployment with preinstalled software. Quality assurance focuses on verifying the software's quality, not on pre-installation processes.
