CompTIA Security+ SY0-701 (V7) Practice Question

An organization has implemented an aggressive patch-management program and deploys vendor updates within 24 hours of release. Which statement best describes the level of protection this practice provides against malware?

  • It automatically blocks malicious email attachments because the operating system files are up to date.

  • It significantly reduces exposure to malware that exploit known flaws, but additional controls are still needed to defend against zero-day and social-engineering attacks.

  • It completely eliminates the risk posed by all malware, including those that exploit zero-day vulnerabilities.

  • It makes endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools unnecessary because patched systems cannot execute malicious code.
