Practice question 399 of 498 · medium

A supposedly retired service still has a public endpoint and a privileged credential. What should the posture review recommend?

Choose the single best answer.

  1. A.Keep the endpoint indefinitely because there are no recent users
  2. B.Increase credential lifetime to reduce administration
  3. C.Verify dependencies, decommission the unused service, and revoke unneeded access
  4. D.Record the service as risk-free because it is retired on paper
Show the answer and explanation

✓ Correct answer

  • Verify dependencies, decommission the unused service, and revoke unneeded access

Unused assets should be safely decommissioned and unnecessary permissions removed. Lack of recent use does not remove exposure, longer credentials increase persistence risk, and a paper retirement is not operational evidence.
