CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 165

Which of the following most impacts an administrator's ability to address CVEs discovered on a server?

Answer options

• A. Rescanning requirements
• B. Patch availability
• C. Organizational impact
• D. Risk tolerance

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as the availability of patches directly influences how quickly and effectively an administrator can remediate vulnerabilities associated with CVEs. While rescanning requirements, organizational impact, and risk tolerance are relevant considerations, they do not have as immediate an effect on the ability to address the vulnerabilities as the availability of patches does.
