CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 80

Which of the following is the best way to consistently determine on a daily basis whether security settings on servers have been modified?

Answer options

• A. Automation
• B. Compliance checklist
• C. Attestation
• D. Manual audit

Correct answer: A

Automation is the most efficient way to continuously monitor and report changes in security settings, ensuring prompt detection of any modifications. While a compliance checklist, attestation, and manual audits can provide insights, they are not as reliable for daily monitoring due to their inherent time constraints and potential for human error.
