CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 33

A newly appointed board member with cybersecurity knowledge wants the board of directors to receive a quarterly report detailing the number of incidents that impacted the organization. The systems administrator is creating a way to present the data to the board of directors. Which of the following should the systems administrator use?

Answer options

• A. Packet captures
• B. Vulnerability scans
• C. Metadata
• D. Dashboard

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as a dashboard provides a visual representation of data and can effectively summarize incidents for easy understanding by the board. Packet captures, vulnerability scans, and metadata are more technical and not suitable for high-level reporting to a board of directors.
