This question reflects well what the new exam questions are! Totally pointless and ridiculous.
Installing updates in production = idiocy.
Purchase of insurance = transfer.
Not taking action = ridiculous.
I pray on the actual test that the questions can not be this dumb. The way all the questions are worded makes it seem like they're trying to make it worse on us. As if the test isn't hard enough.
This one is pretty simple.
A. Risk mitigation (doing something to prevent or reduce the impact of a vulnerability)
B. Risk transference (giving it to someone else to handle or account for)
C. Risk Avoidance (not taking an action that could cause a vulnerability to exist)
D. Risk Acceptance (performing an action even though there is risk because the action is critical or the organization doesn't care about the losses that might be incurred)
Extremely confusing answer. The way C is worded it sounds like they might be saying they aren't installing new software that could prevent compatibility errors. In this interpretation, they are ignoring a valid risk interpretation strategy. Idk, I feel the security+ test should be based on your knowledge of security, not your ability to pick apart confusing grammar.
Risk avoidance is a risk management strategy that involves eliminating or avoiding activities or situations that could potentially lead to negative consequences or risks. Among the options provided, not installing new software to prevent compatibility errors is an example of risk avoidance. By avoiding the installation of new software, the organization reduces the risk of compatibility issues and potential negative impacts on system stability and performance.
Installing security updates directly in production is not an example of risk avoidance but rather a risk mitigation strategy that aims to address vulnerabilities and reduce the risk of exploitation.
Buying insurance to prepare for financial loss associated with exploits is an example of risk transfer, where the organization transfers the financial impact of potential risks to an insurance provider.
Not taking preventive measures to stop the theft of equipment is not an example of risk avoidance but rather a lack of risk mitigation or risk prevention, which leaves the organization exposed to the risk of equipment theft.
The correct answer is C. Not installing new software to prevent compatibility errors.
Risk avoidance involves taking steps to eliminate a particular risk or avoiding an activity that could lead to the risk. In this case, not installing new software is an example of risk avoidance because it eliminates the risk of compatibility errors that could arise from the installation of new software.
Option A, installing security updates directly in production, is an example of risk mitigation, which involves taking steps to reduce the impact of a risk. Option B, buying insurance, is an example of risk transfer, which involves transferring the risk to another party, such as an insurance company. Option D, not taking preventive measures to stop theft, is an example of risk acceptance, which involves accepting the risk and its potential consequences.
