CompTIA Security+ Question F-52

How must user accounts for exiting employees be handled?

A. Disabled, regardless of the circumstances
B. Disabled if the employee has been terminated
C. Deleted, regardless of the circumstances
D. Deleted if the employee has been terminated

Answer: A

Explanation:
You should always disable an employee’s account as soon as they leave. The employee knows the username and password of the account and could continue to log in for potentially malicious purposes. Disabling the account will ensure that no one can log in using that account.
