QuestionQ23

Protection of Information Assets

Which finding from a database security audit poses the GREATEST risk of critical security exposure?

Explanation

Unchanged default database settings can retain known default credentials, excessive permissions, enabled services, or insecure configurations that attackers can readily exploit. This creates a more immediate and potentially critical exposure than password-expiration policy, data-retention gaps, or incomplete logging.
