CompTIA Security+ Practice Test of the Day 071025

By /

Welcome to today’s CompTIA Security+ practice test!

This practice test uses our new UI!

Today’s practice test is based on Subdomain 1.3 (Explain the importance of change management processes and the impact to security) from the CompTIA Security+ SY0-701 objectives.

This beginner-level practice test is inspired by the CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) exam and is designed to help you reinforce key cybersecurity concepts on a daily basis.

These questions are not official exam questions, nor are they brain dumps, but they reflect topics and scenarios relevant to the Security+ certification. Use them to test your knowledge, identify areas for improvement, and build daily cybersecurity habits.

CompTIA Security+ Practice Test of the Day 071025
10 questions • Single best answer
Question 1
A systems administrator wants to apply firmware to a core network switch during business hours. The change management policy requires all changes be reviewed and formally signed off by a designated committee before implementation. Which change management requirement must be completed first?
    Question 2
    A network engineer scheduled to upgrade a router's firmware next week documents exactly how to revert the device to its previous firmware version if the upgrade causes unexpected issues. Which change management element is she preparing?
      Question 3
      A large enterprise schedules all non-emergency system changes for Saturday nights between 11 PM and 3 AM, when user activity is minimal and the risk of disrupting business operations is lowest. Which change management concept BEST describes this scheduling practice?
        Question 4
        Before deploying a new endpoint security tool enterprise-wide, a security team evaluates how it will affect network performance, existing software compatibility, and end-user productivity. The findings are documented in the change request. Which change management step BEST describes this evaluation?
          Question 5
          A security engineer updating firewall rules to block a newly identified malicious domain adds the specific domain to a list of explicitly blocked destinations rather than creating a broad deny rule. Which technical change management concept BEST describes this list?
            Question 6
            After a network redesign that relocates servers to a new subnet and changes IP addressing, logical diagrams still reflect the old architecture. A junior admin consults the outdated diagrams and makes incorrect routing assumptions, causing a brief outage. Which documentation requirement would have MOST directly prevented this?
              Question 7
              A development team tracks every change to firewall configuration files using a system that records the author, timestamp, and description of each modification. If an error is introduced, the team can roll back to a previous known-good configuration. Which change management documentation practice is described?
                Question 8
                A security team deploying a new SIEM platform discovers it requires a specific version of a logging agent that conflicts with the version currently used by the company's HR application. Which technical implication of change management does this represent?
                  Question 9
                  A change management policy requires that before any security change is implemented, a specific individual or team be formally identified as accountable for the change — including its implementation, monitoring, and post-change review. Which change management requirement does this represent?
                    Question 10
                    A company applies a security patch to its web application servers. The patch requires the Apache service to stop and restart. The operations team schedules the restart during off-peak hours and notifies users of a brief planned interruption. Which technical implication of change management does the service restart represent?
