Security+ sampleQuestion 1 of 10
General Security ConceptsA security analyst is categorizing control types within an enterprise's layered defense strategy. Which control primarily functions by identifying and alerting personnel to active, unauthorized activities after they have occurred?
How this Security+ practice works
Every question is written against the current SY0-701 blueprint and reviewed before it enters the bank. The explanation tells you why the correct answer wins and why the distractors fail, which is the part that actually moves your score — knowing an answer is right is less useful than knowing why the other three are wrong.
