20+ practice questions focused on PC Security Issue Remediation — one of the most tested topics on the CompTIA A+ Core 2 220-1202 exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation so you learn why the right answer is correct.
Start PC Security Issue Remediation PracticeA user calls the help desk saying they cannot log into their Windows 10 workstation because a message claims their files are encrypted and they must pay a ransom. What is the most effective remediation approach?
Explanation: Option C is correct because ransomware encrypts files with a key known only to the attacker, making decryption without the key impossible. Disconnecting from the network prevents the ransomware from spreading to other systems, and restoring from a verified backup is the only reliable way to recover the original files without paying the ransom.
A company's security policy requires that all USB storage devices be blocked on company workstations to prevent data exfiltration. A manager needs to temporarily use a USB drive for a presentation. What is the best way to remediate this while maintaining security?
Explanation: Group Policy can be used to block all USB storage by default, but you can create an exception by allowing specific devices via device ID or by using a more granular policy. The best approach is to temporarily grant access to the specific device, then reapply the block.
A small business owner wants to ensure that if a laptop is stolen, the data on the drive cannot be read. The laptop runs Windows 11 Pro. What is the most appropriate remediation?
Explanation: BitLocker is the native full-disk encryption feature in Windows 11 Pro that encrypts the entire system drive, including the operating system, applications, and all user data. If the laptop is stolen, the data on the drive remains unreadable without the recovery key or TPM authentication, even if the drive is removed and attached to another computer. This directly addresses the requirement to prevent data access after theft.
A company has a policy that all workstations must automatically lock after 10 minutes of inactivity. A user complains that their computer does not lock automatically. Which setting should you check and remediate?
Explanation: Option B is correct because the automatic lock behavior in Windows is controlled by the screen saver settings. When 'On resume, display logon screen' is enabled with a 10-minute wait, the screen saver triggers after inactivity and locks the workstation by requiring authentication upon resume. This is the standard mechanism for enforcing a lock timeout, not the power plan sleep timeout.
During a security audit, you find that several employees have been using the same weak password for their domain accounts. Which remediation should you implement first?
Explanation: Option B is correct because the most effective first step to prevent weak passwords is to enforce a strong password policy via Group Policy. This centrally mandates complexity requirements (e.g., uppercase, lowercase, digits, special characters) and a minimum length (typically 8–14 characters), which directly blocks the use of simple, common passwords at the domain level. Unlike awareness campaigns or reactive measures, this technical control proactively enforces security standards across all domain accounts.
