Let's ask Questions

CompTIA Questions are critical thinking questions. You have to actually read the question

Question 1

A. Anti-malware
B. Remote wipe
C. Locator applications
D. Screen lock

A user is unable to log in to the network. The network uses 802.1X with EAP-TLS to authenticate on the wired network. The user has been on an extended leave and has not logged in to the computer in several months. Which of the following is causing the log-in issue?
A. Expired certificate

Question 3

Question 4

As part of a CYOD policy, a systems administrator needs to configure each user's Windows device to require a password when resuming from a period of sleep or inactivity. Which of the following paths will lead the administrator to the correct settings?
A. Use Settings to access Screensaver settings.
B. Use Settings to access Screen Timeout settings.
C. Use Settings to access General.
D. Use Settings to access Display.

Question 5

A technician needs to recommend the best backup method that will mitigate ransomware attacks. Only a few files are regularly modified; however, storage space is a concern. Which of the following backup methods would BEST address these concerns?
A. Full
B. Differential
C. Off-site
D. Grandfather-father-son

Question 6

A differential backup method would be the BEST option in this scenario. Differential backup takes a full backup of the system initially and then backs up only the changes that have been made since the last full backup. This method saves both time and storage space compared to a full backup. Additionally, differential backups provide an advantage in the event of a ransomware attack as only the changes made after the last full backup will be affected, making it easier to restore the unencrypted data. Off-site and grandfather-father-son backup methods refer to the storage location and backup rotation schedule, respectively, and are not directly related to mitigating ransomware attacks.
