Dell EMC Associate – Information Storage and Management v4 — Question 14

What is the objective of security control?

Answer options

• A. Minimize the attack surfaces and minimize the work factors
• B. Maximize the attack surfaces and minimize the attack vector
• C. Minimize the attack surfaces and maximize the work factors
• D. Maximize the attack surfaces and maximize the attack vector

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, C, highlights that the objective of security controls is to reduce the potential vulnerabilities (attack surfaces) while increasing the effort required for an attacker (work factors). Options A and B incorrectly suggest minimizing or maximizing attack surfaces in ways that don't align with security goals, while D suggests a harmful approach by maximizing both attack surfaces and vectors.
