Security+ Question of the Week: Application Hardening

What is the first step in application hardening?

A. Installing additional add-ons.
B. Setting configurations.
C. Disabling or removing unnecessary components.
D. Application of updates or patches.

Reveal Answer

The correct answer is C.

Domain: 4.1. Application hardening is a two-step concept. First, disable or remove unnecessary components. Secondly, lock down and secure what remains. It is important to understand that this concept is not as elegant in the real world where these two steps must be repeated several times or occur in “reverse” order. For example, installing an OS, then installing updates and patches, then removing unneeded elements.
