CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 547

Which of the following actions best addresses a vulnerability found on a company's web server?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Patching is the most effective response to address vulnerabilities because it involves applying updates that fix security flaws. Segmentation can help contain breaches but does not directly fix vulnerabilities, while decommissioning may eliminate risks but is not practical for all situations. Monitoring is essential for detecting issues, but it does not mitigate the vulnerability itself.
