CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 140

A legacy device is being decommissioned and is no longer receiving updates or patches. Which of the following describes this scenario?

Answer options

• A. End of business
• B. End of testing
• C. End of support
• D. End of life

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is 'End of life' because it indicates that the device is no longer supported or maintained. 'End of support' refers specifically to the cessation of updates and patches, but does not necessarily imply retirement. 'End of business' and 'End of testing' do not accurately describe the decommissioning of a device.
