ITPEC IP April 2024 Question 40
ITPEC IP April 2024 — Question 40 of 100
Applying security patches and educating users are virus-prevention measures, so I and III are appropriate. Patches close software vulnerabilities that malware can exploit. Security education reduces risky behavior such as opening suspicious attachments, enabling macros, following deceptive links, or installing untrusted programs.
Disk striping divides data across multiple drives to improve storage throughput. It neither detects viruses nor prevents malicious code from entering or executing, and without redundancy it can even increase the consequence of a drive failure.
Answer (c)
Why not others:
- (a) omits the useful human-focused measure III
- (b) incorrectly includes disk striping and omits education
- (d) includes striping while omitting patching
Key rule: Malware prevention combines technical hygiene, including updates and protective software, with user awareness; storage-performance layouts are unrelated to infection prevention.
