Question

Workstation control standards institute security requirements to harden end user devices. For example, a Malicious Code Protection standard attempts to keep a workstation free from viruses and other malware. However, this policy is a preventive control, which means that it tries to prevent an infection through installing scanning software. As such it is lacking in detection control, so it cannot detect and report symptoms of an infection.

a. true
b. flase

Answer 1

B. False

Step-by-step explanation:

Detection and reporting of symptoms also helps in the identification of the infection before it is fought.
