CompTIA Security+ study material · question 177 of 611

Why are logging and monitoring failures serious even though they rarely cause the breach?

  1. They cause false positives in vulnerability scans
  2. They prevent patches from being applied
  3. They invalidate the organisation's cyber insurance
  4. They extend the breach, because nothing raises an alarm while the attacker works
Show the answer

Answer: D. They extend the breach, because nothing raises an alarm while the attacker works

Detection failures do not open the door, but they determine how long the intruder stays inside.
