Certified Network Defender (CND) — Question 92

Which of the Windows security component is responsible for controlling access of a user to Windows resources?

Answer options

• A. Network Logon Service (Netlogon)
• B. Security Accounts Manager (SAM)
• C. Security Reference Monitor (SRM)
• D. Local Security Authority Subsystem (LSASS)

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The Security Reference Monitor (SRM) is tasked with enforcing security policies and controls user access to resources in Windows. The other options, while related to Windows security, do not directly manage access; for example, Netlogon helps with user authentication, SAM manages user accounts, and LSASS is responsible for security policy enforcement and login verification.
