CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 776

A business operations manager is concerned that a PC that is critical to business operations will have a costly hardware failure soon. The manager is looking for options to continue business operations without incurring large costs. Which of the following would mitigate the manager's concerns?

Answer options

• A. Implement a full system upgrade.
• B. Perform a physical-to-virtual migration.
• C. Install uninterruptible power supplies.
• D. Purchase cybersecurity insurance.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Option B is correct because a physical-to-virtual migration allows the critical system to be virtualized, reducing reliance on potentially failing hardware. Options A, C, and D do not directly address the immediate risk of hardware failure; a full system upgrade (A) could be costly, uninterruptible power supplies (C) protect against power issues rather than hardware failure, and cybersecurity insurance (D) does not mitigate hardware risks.
