CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 645

An organization has too many variations of a single operating system and needs to standardize the arrangement prior to pushing the system image to users. Which of the following should the organization implement first?

Answer options

• A. Standard naming convention
• B. Hashing
• C. Network diagrams
• D. Baseline configuration

Correct answer: D
