CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 576
During a recent log review, an analyst discovers evidence of successful injection attacks. Which of the following will best address this issue?
Answer options
- A. Authentication
- B. Secure cookies
- C. Static code analysis
- D. Input validation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Input validation is crucial for preventing injection attacks as it ensures that only correctly formatted data is processed by the application. Authentication, secure cookies, and static code analysis do not directly prevent injection attacks, making them less effective in addressing this specific issue.
