A recent audit has revealed weaknesses in the process of deploying new servers and network
devices. Which of the following practices could be used to increase the security posture during
deployment? (Select TWO).

A.
Deploy a honeypot

B.
Disable unnecessary services

C.
Change default passwords

D.
Implement an application firewall

E.
Penetration testing

Explanation:
Increasing security posture is akin to getting the appropriate type of risk mitigation for your
company. A plan and its implementation is a major part of security posture. When new servers and
network devices are being deployed your most vulnerable points will be coming from all
unnecessary services that may be running from servers and network default passwords. Thus
your plan should be to disable those services that are not needed and change the default
password during the deployment of the new servers and network devices.
