Security Fundamentals — Question 74

You are volunteering at an organization that gets a brand new web server. To make the server more secure, you should add a second administrator account.
Select the correct answer if the underlined text does not make the statement correct. Select "No change is needed" if the underlined text makes the statement correct.

Answer options

• A. Disable unused services
• B. Enable LM authentication
• C. Enable NTLM authentication
• D. No change is needed.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Creating a second administrator account does not directly enhance security; instead, disabling unused services strengthens security by reducing potential attack vectors. Enabling LM authentication is outdated and less secure, while NTLM authentication is more secure than LM but still not the best practice. Thus, disabling unused services (Option A) is the correct action to take.
