I answered the question correct but it shows as question D being correct but the explanation doesn’t add up, this is in the Threats, Vulnerabilities and Mitigation section, ‘Whilst investigating a recent data breach, investigator's discovered malware on Barts computer, Antivirus software didn’t detect it. Logs show a user with local administrator privileges installed it. Which of the following answers the BEST chance of preventing this from happening again in the future?’ A- enforce an application a low list (marks this red) B- enforce an application block list C- implement BYOD policy D- implement a DLP system (marks this green) Explanation: Enforcing an application allow list (sometimes called an application white list) would prevent this. An application allow list identifies the only applications that can be installed on a computer and would not include malware. An application block list identifies applications to block, but malware changes so often, this wouldn’t help. A bring your own device (BYOD) policy identifies mobile devices employees can buy and connect to a network but is unrelated to this question. A data loss prevention (DLP) system typically monitors outgoing traffic and wouldn’t stop a user from installing a malicious application. Please could this get looked into 😊 ### 5/5 — Great resource *2024-04-08, version 13* Will update after I take the exam ### 4/5 — SHOW ANSWERS AS YOU GO *2024-03-14, version 13* THERE IS AN ERROR “IN SHOW ANSWERS AS YOU GO MODE”, IF THERE IS MORE THAN ONE ANSWER IN THAT MODE, WHEN YOU CHOOSE YOUR FIRST ANSWER, THE CORRECT ANSWER, IT AUTOMATICALLY SAYS IT’S WRONG AND DOESN’T GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO PICK THE ADDITIONAL ANSWERS. PLEASE FIX! ### 5/5 — Passed SEC+ using this *2024-02-21* Highly recommend this as your main study resource. I used this and one other practice exam resource and passed SEC+ first try after only 1 monthish. The $10 subscription is 1000% worth it. There are so many different ways to study through this app, flash cards, exams by objective, custom practice tests, everything and anything you can need. I wish they had more CompTIA tests like the CySa+ or PenTest+ so I can use this again. Maybe I’ll go for the CCNA next just because they have an app for it. You won’t regret it ### 5/5 — Best Review Tool I’ve Used! *2024-02-15* The app is organized according to Objectives. I love additional insights which saves me from having to suspend the app to research what I’ve just read. ### 5/5 — Great 601 App *2024-01-09* This app helped me pass the 601 exam! I loved being able to create my own custom exam. It was helpful to sort by the questions I got incorrect or questions I hadn’t answered yet. The ability to see the increase in knowledge on the readiness scale was motivating and increased my confidence as well. ### 5/5 — Good method *2023-12-23, version 10* This is a very helpfulness course. The method behind is very good you can learn and practice. ### 5/5 — This app helped me pass *2023-08-17, version 10* This app was instrumental in helping me pass. I really liked the custom quiz options and the readiness meter. ### 5/5 — Super Worth it! *2023-08-14* The main resource that helped me understand all the objectives. Used the book and this. Have zero cybersecurity knowledge, coming from medical field. Testing soon. ### 5/5 — Easy tool *2023-06-27* I have little knowledge of computers but this is teaching me a lot & at a good pace. I recommend it for new starters. ### 5/5 — Great studying tool *2023-06-10* The flash card feature is very useful, it assisted me with understanding concepts by giving different scenarios. It will help you see if you really grasped the concepts of the material that you’ve study. Passed the Sec+ ### 4/5 — Great App *2023-05-30, version 9* Used this to crosscheck knowledge with another test app. The good: Well written questions Great explanations Great division & breakdown of areas of strengths/weaknesses The bad: Its a subscription based model for most of the questions. Made me only use it towards the end as a secondary source instead of primary. ### 4/5 — Great study app for Sec+ *2023-05-29* Found this app very helpful for studying for my Comptia’s Security+ certification. I was able to pass my first try with the help of this app and other study materials. The quality and style of the questions we’re on par with that of the actual exam, and seemed to stay closely within the objectives. Two things I would like to see added: 1) It would have been helpful to have an option to be tested on all missed questions in a future release. I was able to work around this by bookmarking every question that I got wrong and those that I was not confident about. 2) CompTIA CySA+ study version. ### 5/5 — Cancelled my subscription because I passed! *2023-04-29* To get the most out of this app you have to pay for it. While the price is very affordable I cancelled my subscription because I no longer need it after passing my exam. This app was my primary study tool and on exam day I found that the exam questions were very similar to the practice questions in this app. I highly recommend it as part of your study plan. I wish I could give it more than five stars. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App will not open *2023-11-15, version 10* I get "[firestore/permission-denied] The caller does not have permission to execute the specified operation." Error trying to use the app. I do have a subscription as well and I'm just stuck at the loading screen ### 2/5 — Nice layout, but not the most precise or accurate *2023-04-16, version 9* Ive been using this with various other Comptia study guides and while the interface is simple and practical, I cant say the questions and answers are always right and some are downright misleading and incorrect. ### 3/5 — Decent App to prepare for exam *2025-04-08, version 14* This app isn’t all too bad but some questions have an issue on getting a few answers wrong. But overall the exam prep is very helpful. ### 3/5 — It’s mixed of both sec 601 and sec701 *2024-06-01, version 13* Sadly this app is useful in the difficulties of 601 and 701 but it mixed both test. It’s less useful finding out what I got wrong is part of one test I’m not studying. It needs to be split and marked 601 questions so it makes sense ### 3/5 — Poor subscription model *2023-02-16* I paid for until 1 January 2024 and the app still shows me as free plan user. It won’t access me the premium resources. I signed out/in, deleted/reinstalled the app but its still the same. Developers should look into it. ### 3/5 — So so *2022-12-28* The only problem I have is with the flashcards. You’d think they would have all the terms for the objectives per section but they don’t. Some of them even repeat, and they’re always in order. If I’m paying for the app I’m expecting quality, and all of the acronyms aren’t even there. ### 3/5 — Unfinished product? *2021-12-19* The app developers didn’t bother to make the intro to the app seem complete. They left a “2 screen this is the second screen” page in the intro which gives the impression that the app will be very lacking in both quality and content. **Developer response:** Well, that's embarrassing. We should checked the intro screens before publishing. We will fix this soon. If you are able to look past this obvious error, you should find the app quite useful in your exam prep. We have worked hard to ensure high quality fo the content. Let us know what you think of the app and any suggestions to improve support@learnzapp.com. ### 4/5 — Good practice *2025-01-24, version 14* I wish they had more variety in the generated question. ### 4/5 — Good tool to study for Security + on the go! *2025-01-03* This is a great app! Very handy to use for studying during a commute or during lunch breaks. Only thing I would request is to have more questions for each. Of a study topics on a rotational basis versus the same questions every time you take a practice test. ### 4/5 — Great addition to study with D.Gibson book *2024-07-23* I was happy to find this app as I was studying with D. Gibson's book, and I find it the most resourceful among the other study materials that I've used. I love that, in addition to tests, the app has flashcards and acronyms—love, love, love! The UI is simple and clean; however, some elements are not designed in the most efficient manner. It would be great to also be able to use the keyboard to navigate through questions, answer questions, and use flashcards. I am using the free version, and here are some things stopping me from subscribing: - Custom tests: I really miss subdomains. I would be happy to select subdomains for practice tests as I go through the book, and in general, select any subdomain that I need to practice. - Practice tests: There are only 6 tests with 20 questions each. - Subscription: The subscription is overpriced for the app's functionality. Additionally, it would be great to have a weekly option. I'm not sure why they offer a yearly subscription when, on average, it takes 2-4 months to study and pass the Security exam. Overall, it is a great app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Assisted with me passing *2025-12-22, version 14* I was using prof Messers sec plus videos to study and paid for this app Dec 1st and passed on Dec 22nd with the help of this app. Worth it for a month subscription. ### 5/5 — Great Resource *2025-10-04, version 14* This was a huge study resource for me. With the help of this and Prof Messer, I passed the SY0-601 last year. ### 5/5 — I never wrote reviews *2025-08-31* Dude I never wrote reviews, but I bought a month just in case I needed it. I used it for 10 days and passed my exam. This a Dion university on Udemy helped ALOT. I got my Sec + first try because of practice test and researching what I got wrong and this helped me reinforce all of that. Thanks alot s d I will be using other apps for practice tests for other Certs!! ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2025-04-29* Highly recommend this app, it’s easy to use and a great source of extra help when studying for the sec+ ### 5/5 — Great practice *2024-12-02* A great practice exercise to keep your skills fresh ### 5/5 — Security+ Test Prep *2024-08-24* This application was incredibly close to what was asked on the exam, in regards to SLE, ALE, ARO and a few others. Honestly this application alone may well be what I would have needed, also the explanation portion of the practice quizzes are awesome. I appreciate the work that has been put into this, but please just add a little more questions. This app is awesome! ### 5/5 — Great study tool for Sec+ *2024-07-03, version 13* Well thought out study questions, practice tests, flashcards and elaborate answers with reference to the exam topics! ### 5/5 — Best study App there is *2024-05-03* This is an awesome study app and greatly helped me to pass my 601 Sec+ exam the first time. I used the app and studied until it told me I was ready to test, took the test and passed. Would highly recommend this app. ### 5/5 — Great for exam prep! *2024-04-11, version 13* Used the app for about a month as a final prep before the exam and passed on the first try! ### 5/5 — SY0-601 *2024-04-10, version 13* Love it, love it, love it.
