CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 470

A software development manager wants to ensure the authenticity of the code created by the company. Which of the following options is the most appropriate?

Answer options

• A. Testing input validation on the user input fields
• B. Performing code signing on company-developed software
• C. Performing static code analysis on the software
• D. Ensuring secure cookies are used

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because code signing provides a way to verify the authenticity and integrity of the software, ensuring that it has not been altered. The other options, while important for security, do not specifically address the need to confirm the legitimacy of the code itself.
