CompTIA CS0-003 Practice Test 62

Question 610

An organization repairs a misconfiguration and needs proof that the system now complies. What is the MOST appropriate analyst action based on the evidence?

  1. Apply preventative access controls with least-privilege approvals.
  2. Perform corrective remediation followed by verified configuration assessment.
  3. Use responsive containment controls through approved incident authority.
  4. Deploy detective file-integrity monitoring with protected alerts.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Corrective controls remove known deficiencies and require outcome validation. Verify corrective control effectiveness.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Preventative controls block the prohibited action at authorization time. It would choose preventative security control, but it would not verify corrective control effectiveness.

C:

Responsive actions limit ongoing incident propagation after detection. That is relevant to control type selection, not to verify corrective control effectiveness.

D:

Detective monitoring creates actionable evidence after changes. It would choose detective integrity control, but it would not verify corrective control effectiveness.

Question 611

A security team measures patches installed in five days but ignores the approved thirty-day risk SLO. Which next step is MOST defensible for the security team?

  1. Escalate overdue exposure through the defined exception governance.
  2. Record the emergency authorization and complete retrospective change documentation.
  3. Track verified remediation against risk-tier service-level objectives.
  4. Validate the control outcome before marking the residual risk treated.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Operational success should be measured against agreed exposure windows. Align patch metrics to risk-based SLO.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Service-level misses need accountable risk decisions, not silent ticket aging. It could help escalate vulnerability remediation SLO breach, but it would not align patch metrics to risk-based SLO.

B:

Time-critical fixes still require traceable governance. That is relevant to governance and slos, not to align patch metrics to risk-based SLO.

D:

Claimed mitigation cannot be trusted without evidence of operation. It could help verify compensating control before acceptance, but it would not align patch metrics to risk-based SLO.

Question 612

A patch appears successful on pilot systems but error rates rise on a customer-facing cohort. Which action BEST aligns with sound security operations?

  1. Escalate compatibility risk and plan tested alternative mitigation before production rollout.
  2. Verify running versions and effective vulnerability closure after any required reboot.
  3. Prepare tested rollback and recovery criteria before the maintenance window.
  4. Pause broader rollout and investigate production telemetry against defined stop conditions.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Canary validation prevents a localized regression from spreading. Stop patch rollout after customer regression.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Patching must be coordinated with critical service dependencies. That is relevant to patch testing and rollback, not to stop patch rollout after customer regression.

B:

Installed packages do not always mean the active code is fixed. It would validate patch effectiveness after deployment, but it would not stop patch rollout after customer regression.

C:

Safe change requires a known recovery path after unexpected failure. It could help add patch rollback readiness, but it would not stop patch rollout after customer regression.

Question 613

A vulnerability scanner rerun is scheduled during an approved production freeze. Which response BEST addresses the security problem described?

  1. Obtain change-owner authorization or defer intrusive validation safely.
  2. Prepare a recovery and availability plan with service owners before downtime.
  3. Verify all nodes and listener state before closing the vulnerability.
  4. Plan staged compatibility and coordinated deployment with rollback.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Assessment activity should honor operational risk constraints. Govern intrusive validation during freeze.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Recovery readiness limits the outage impact of necessary remediation. It could help plan safe restart for security fix, but it would not govern intrusive validation during freeze.

C:

Redundant infrastructure can preserve exposure after partial remediation. That is relevant to remediation sequencing and change conflict, not to govern intrusive validation during freeze.

D:

Security fixes require dependency-aware rollout to avoid systemwide disruption. It would sequence patch with integration dependency, but it would not govern intrusive validation during freeze.

Question 614

A provider rotates infrastructure but firewall rules retain old public allowlist ranges indefinitely. Which investigative or response action BEST fits the evidence?

  1. Reconcile domain ownership and retire or secure shadow-facing services.
  2. Review source ranges and remove obsolete network exceptions through change management.
  3. Disable unused services and restrict necessary management protocols.
  4. Extend component inventory and remediate all deployed affected versions.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Stale trust grants remain routes for unauthorized connection. Clean obsolete external allowlists.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Forgotten externally resolvable assets expand the attack surface. It could help remediate orphaned external domains, but it would not clean obsolete external allowlists.

C:

Removing unused entry points reduces exploitable exposure. It would remove unnecessary exposed services, but it would not clean obsolete external allowlists.

D:

Reducing one exposed route may leave the same vulnerable component elsewhere. It could help close shared library attack surface, but it would not clean obsolete external allowlists.

Question 615

A high-impact vulnerability breaches remediation SLO without written owner authorization. What is the MOST appropriate analyst action based on the evidence?

  1. Record the emergency authorization and complete retrospective change documentation.
  2. Validate the control outcome before marking the residual risk treated.
  3. Escalate overdue exposure through the defined exception governance.
  4. Track verified remediation against risk-tier service-level objectives.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Service-level misses need accountable risk decisions, not silent ticket aging. Escalate vulnerability remediation SLO breach.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Time-critical fixes still require traceable governance. That is relevant to governance and slos, not to escalate vulnerability remediation SLO breach.

B:

Claimed mitigation cannot be trusted without evidence of operation. It would verify compensating control before acceptance, but it would not escalate vulnerability remediation SLO breach.

D:

Operational success should be measured against agreed exposure windows. That is relevant to governance and slos, not to escalate vulnerability remediation SLO breach.

Question 616

A legacy application cannot support MFA but can be reached through an MFA-protected privileged gateway. Which next step is MOST defensible for the security team?

  1. Isolate the device, monitor approved conduits and record time-limited risk exception.
  2. Restrict identities and network routes plus monitor suspicious requests.
  3. Assign ownership and effectiveness tests to the compensating control.
  4. Restrict direct access and enforce authentication at the approved gateway.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

A secure choke point can compensate for application authentication limitations. Apply MFA gateway as compensating control.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Network and detection controls can reduce exposure while permanent maintenance is constrained. It would compensate for unpatchable OT device, but it would not apply MFA gateway as compensating control.

B:

Narrow authenticated service-to-service paths reduce reachable attack surface. It could help compensate for unsupported application patch, but it would not apply MFA gateway as compensating control.

C:

An unowned rule may drift without reducing risk as intended. That is relevant to compensating security control design, not to apply MFA gateway as compensating control.

Question 617

A patch changes an API schema and dependent integrations cannot be updated simultaneously. Which action BEST aligns with sound security operations?

  1. Plan staged compatibility and coordinated deployment with rollback.
  2. Verify all nodes and listener state before closing the vulnerability.
  3. Prepare a recovery and availability plan with service owners before downtime.
  4. Obtain change-owner authorization or defer intrusive validation safely.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Security fixes require dependency-aware rollout to avoid systemwide disruption. Sequence patch with integration dependency.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Redundant infrastructure can preserve exposure after partial remediation. That is relevant to remediation sequencing and change conflict, not to sequence patch with integration dependency.

C:

Recovery readiness limits the outage impact of necessary remediation. It would plan safe restart for security fix, but it would not sequence patch with integration dependency.

D:

Assessment activity should honor operational risk constraints. It could help govern intrusive validation during freeze, but it would not sequence patch with integration dependency.

Question 618

A risky server has been rebuilt but its exposed API key remains valid. Which response BEST addresses the security problem described?

  1. Renew risk assessment, upgrade compensating controls and seek accountable authorization.
  2. Rotate compromised or inherited credentials and verify associated access.
  3. Scope a narrowly justified exception to the sensitive device and document alternate checks.
  4. Document validated vendor fix and adjust signature with controlled evidence.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Reimaging alone does not invalidate externally reusable credentials. Close residual credentials after rebuild.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Expired exceptions cannot remain valid by default. That is relevant to security control quality and exception closure, not to close residual credentials after rebuild.

C:

Broad exclusions create unnecessary vulnerability blind spots. It could help limit scan exception scope, but it would not close residual credentials after rebuild.

D:

Accurate scanner configuration prevents repeated phantom findings. That is relevant to security control quality and exception closure, not to close residual credentials after rebuild.

Question 619

A fleet deploys a security update but the scanner only checks installation status. Which investigative or response action BEST fits the evidence?

  1. Prepare tested rollback and recovery criteria before the maintenance window.
  2. Escalate compatibility risk and plan tested alternative mitigation before production rollout.
  3. Verify running versions and effective vulnerability closure after any required reboot.
  4. Pause broader rollout and investigate production telemetry against defined stop conditions.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Installed packages do not always mean the active code is fixed. Validate patch effectiveness after deployment.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Safe change requires a known recovery path after unexpected failure. It would add patch rollback readiness, but it would not validate patch effectiveness after deployment.

B:

Patching must be coordinated with critical service dependencies. It could help handle critical patch failing compatibility test, but it would not validate patch effectiveness after deployment.

D:

Canary validation prevents a localized regression from spreading. It would stop patch rollout after customer regression, but it would not validate patch effectiveness after deployment.

Question 620

A business asks to exempt an entire subnet from scanning to avoid one sensitive device. What is the MOST appropriate analyst action based on the evidence?

  1. Rotate compromised or inherited credentials and verify associated access.
  2. Document validated vendor fix and adjust signature with controlled evidence.
  3. Renew risk assessment, upgrade compensating controls and seek accountable authorization.
  4. Scope a narrowly justified exception to the sensitive device and document alternate checks.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Broad exclusions create unnecessary vulnerability blind spots. Limit scan exception scope.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Reimaging alone does not invalidate externally reusable credentials. It could help close residual credentials after rebuild, but it would not limit scan exception scope.

B:

Accurate scanner configuration prevents repeated phantom findings. That is relevant to security control quality and exception closure, not to limit scan exception scope.

C:

Expired exceptions cannot remain valid by default. It would reauthorize vulnerability exception on expiry, but it would not limit scan exception scope.
