CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 485

A company's Chief Information Officer (CIO) is meeting with the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) to plan some activities to enhance the skill levels of the company's developers. Which of the following would be MOST suitable for training the developers?

Answer options

• A. A capture-the-flag competition
• B. A phishing simulation
• C. Physical security training
• D. Basic awareness training

Correct answer: A

Explanation

A capture-the-flag competition is specifically designed to enhance technical skills and encourage problem-solving among developers, making it the most suitable choice. In contrast, a phishing simulation focuses on awareness of social engineering, physical security training is less relevant for developers, and basic awareness training does not provide the hands-on experience that would significantly develop their skills.
