CompTIA Security+ SY0-701 Practice Question

Your team has been tasked with performing a penetration test on the organization's network, which they are well-acquainted with from previous security audits. What is the FIRST step they should take to ensure a structured and effective penetration testing process?

  • Directly attempting to exploit known vulnerabilities based on the team's familiarity with the system.

  • Conducting reconnaissance to gather additional information about the target environment.

  • Running a full vulnerability scan to identify all potential weak points within the system.

  • Determining the scope of the penetration test to establish the extent and boundaries of the testing engagement.
