CAS-005 Exam Dumps : CompTIA SecurityX Certification Exam

Removing unnecessary services from existing endpoints reduces the attack surface by minimizing the number of potential vulnerabilities attackers could exploit. This is a cost-effective method to harden devices without requiring new purchases, aligning perfectly with a purchasing freeze. Deploying new EDR solutions or disposing of devices would likely conflict with the resource freeze, and reimaging systems does not address minimizing services proactively.

This scenario describes an attack where the attacker mimics the CEO’s voice to deceive the CFO, likely using AI-generated audio. According to the CompTIA SecurityX CAS-005 study guide (Domain 1: Security Strategy and Risk Management, 1.2), a deepfake attack involves using artificial intelligence to create realistic but fake audio, video, or other media to impersonate someone. In this case, the voice similarity suggests a deepfake audio attack, which is a targeted social engineering tactic.

Option A:Smishing involves SMS-based phishing, not voicecalls.

Option C:Automated exploit generation refers to creating software exploits, not impersonation.

Option D:Spear phishing targets specific individuals but typically via email, not voice-based impersonation.

Option B:Deepfake is the most accurate, as it describes AI-driven impersonation of the CEO’s voice.
