CompTIA Security+ SY0-701 Practice Question

Uninstalling software applications that are not essential to a system's primary functions directly benefits security by reducing the number of potential attack vectors available to a threat actor. Every piece of software can introduce vulnerabilities, and non-essential applications may not be maintained with the same rigor as critical ones, leading to increased security risks. By minimizing the number of installed programs, the scope for vulnerabilities is narrowed, bolstering the system's resilience to cyber threats.
