QuestionQ215

Cloud Platform & Infrastructure Security

Operating-system hardening includes all of the following except:

  • A Limiting administrator access
  • B Closing unused ports
  • C Removing antimalware agents
  • D Removing unnecessary services and libraries
Explanation

Operating-system hardening reduces exposure and strengthens security by restricting administrator privileges, closing unneeded network ports, and eliminating unnecessary services and libraries. Antimalware agents are security protections, so removing them weakens rather than hardens the system.
