CompTIA Security+ Practice Test of the Day 260213

By /

Welcome to today’s CompTIA Security+ practice test!

This practice test uses our new UI!

Today’s practice test is based on subdomain 3.4 (Explain the importance of resilience and recovery in security architecture.) 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 260213
10 questions • Single best answer
Question 1
A manufacturing company's DR plan designates a secondary facility with all hardware and software pre-installed, data continuously replicated from the primary site, and the ability to assume operations within minutes. What type of recovery site is this?
    Question 2
    A data center administrator must ensure power continuity during brief utility outages lasting up to five minutes while diesel generators spin up. Which power resilience control directly addresses this short-term gap?
      Question 3
      An organization's database cluster automatically detects when the primary node fails and promotes a replica node to primary within seconds, without administrator intervention. What high-availability mechanism does this describe?
        Question 4
        A security architect recommends implementing journaling on the organization's file servers. What is the PRIMARY security and recovery benefit of journaling?
          Question 5
          An engineer takes a VM snapshot before applying a critical OS patch. The patch causes application instability, and the engineer needs to restore the VM to its exact pre-patch state within minutes. What is the PRIMARY advantage of snapshots in this scenario?
            Question 6
            Following a hurricane that destroyed a company's primary data center, recovery took weeks because all backup media was stored in the same building. Which backup consideration, if implemented, would have MOST directly prevented this delay?
              Question 7
              A company hosts workloads across AWS, Azure, and GCP simultaneously to prevent any single cloud provider outage from disrupting operations. What resilience strategy does this represent?
                Question 8
                A security team conducts a DR test where participants gather in a conference room and verbally walk through their incident response steps, discussing roles, escalation paths, and decision points — without making any changes to live systems. What type of test is this?
                  Question 9
                  A global financial institution places its primary data center in New York, a secondary in London, and a tertiary in Singapore to ensure that no single catastrophic event — earthquake, hurricane, or regional power grid failure — can simultaneously affect all sites. What resilience design principle does this implement?
                    Question 10
                    The CISO is reviewing the continuity of operations plan and realizes it does not account for scenarios where key technical staff, HR leads, and executive decision-makers are all simultaneously unavailable. Which capacity planning category does this gap fall under?
