CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 326

A security engineer would like to enhance the use of automation and orchestration within the SIEM. Which of the following would be the primary benefit of this enhancement?

Answer options

• A. It increases complexity.
• B. It removes technical debt.
• C. It adds additional guard rails.
• D. It acts as a workforce multiplier.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because enhancing automation and orchestration allows the security team to handle more tasks efficiently, effectively increasing their productivity. Options A, B, and C do not capture the primary advantage of automation, which is to amplify the workforce's capabilities rather than complicate processes, eliminate technical debt, or simply add controls.
