CompTIA Security+ study material · question 229 of 611

Why are development, test and production environments kept separate?

  1. To allow different patch schedules
  2. So debug configuration and test data cannot reach users and developers do not hold production credentials
  3. To reduce infrastructure cost
  4. To satisfy the change advisory board
Show the answer

Answer: B. So debug configuration and test data cannot reach users and developers do not hold production credentials

Separation limits both accidental exposure and the standing access developers would otherwise need.
