CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 74

An organization is building backup server rooms in geographically diverse locations. The Chief Information Security Officer implemented a requirement on the project that states the new hardware cannot be susceptible to the same vulnerabilities in the existing server room. Which of the following should the systems engineer consider?

Answer options

• A. Purchasing hardware from different vendors
• B. Migrating workloads to public cloud infrastructure
• C. Implementing a robust patch management solution
• D. Designing new detective security controls

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because using hardware from different vendors can reduce the likelihood of shared vulnerabilities. Options B, C, and D do not directly address the requirement to avoid the same vulnerabilities in the new hardware, making them less relevant to the task at hand.
