CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 178

A security administrator notices numerous unused, non-compliant desktops are connected to the network. Which of the following actions would the administrator most likely recommend to the management team?

Answer options

• A. Monitoring
• B. Decommissioning
• C. Patching
• D. Isolating

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, decommissioning, as it involves removing the unused and non-compliant desktops from the network to enhance security. Monitoring, patching, and isolating are useful practices but do not directly address the issue of eliminating the risk posed by non-compliant systems.
