CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 83

A small business uses kiosks on the sales floor to display product information for customers. A security team discovers the kiosks use end-of-life operating systems. Which of the following is the security team most likely to document as a security implication of the current architecture?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, A, is significant because end-of-life operating systems no longer receive security patches, making them vulnerable to attacks. Options B, C, and D are less relevant in this context; while they may represent concerns, they do not specifically address the immediate security risks associated with outdated software.
