ITPEC IP April 2019 Question 44
ITPEC IP April 2019 — Question 44 of 100
Applying security patches and educating users both help prevent malware infection. Patches close vulnerabilities that malicious code can exploit, while education helps users avoid unsafe attachments, links, downloads, and removable media. Disk striping improves storage performance but is not an antivirus measure.
Answer (c)
Why not others:
- (a) omits the preventive benefit of user education
- (b) includes disk striping, which does not stop infection
- (d) also includes striping and omits patching
Key rule: Malware prevention combines technical controls, timely updates, and safe user behavior; RAID layout is unrelated to infection prevention.
