ITPEC IP April 2020 Question 43
ITPEC IP April 2020 — Question 43 of 100
Malware infection can affect operating systems and applications and can also compromise writable firmware embedded in devices. Firmware attacks may persist below the OS and can be especially difficult to detect or remove.
Answer (a)
Why not others:
- infected removable media can compromise an isolated computer
- an infected computer should normally be isolated from the network before remediation
- malware can arrive through websites, removable media, vulnerabilities, or network services even when attachments are not opened
Key rule: Infection paths and targets are varied, so security requires layered prevention, detection, isolation, and recovery.
