Question 1060
During an application modernization project at Silverline Labs, engineers say that they resolved this finding: Application inventory omits locally installed remote-control software used by third parties. Which result provides the STRONGEST acceptance evidence?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Unauthorized remote-control tools are identified and prevented according to policy. This is the decisive evidence for the original problem: Application inventory omits locally installed remote-control software used by third parties. It verifies that the intended corrective control—Use endpoint application discovery and risk-based allow or deny controls—works in the relevant environment; a completed change ticket alone would not prove the outcome at Silverline Labs.
Incorrect Answers
The stale host does not gain full access until a recent successful assessment appears. This would be relevant evidence for a different failure: A device policy marks a host compliant even though required endpoint protection telemetry is stale, usually addressed by Check the freshness of posture signals and fail safely or provide limited remediation access. It does not demonstrate that the current problem at Silverline Labs was resolved. The specific required evidence is: Unauthorized remote-control tools are identified and prevented according to policy.
An unencrypted device is denied protected mail while an encrypted compliant phone succeeds. This would be relevant evidence for a different failure: Mobile phones lacking encryption still receive confidential mail because enrollment alone is treated as compliance, usually addressed by Require verified device encryption and applicable baseline settings before sensitive data access. It does not demonstrate that the current problem at Silverline Labs was resolved. The specific required evidence is: Unauthorized remote-control tools are identified and prevented according to policy.
A prohibited extension is blocked or the session is restricted while approved browsers work. This would be relevant evidence for a different failure: An enterprise allows risky browser extensions to control business SaaS sessions without application governance, usually addressed by Apply suitable application control or conditional policy to disallowed software behavior. It does not demonstrate that the current problem at Silverline Labs was resolved. The specific required evidence is: Unauthorized remote-control tools are identified and prevented according to policy.
