Google ChromeOS Administrator Exam - Topic 1 Question 17 Discussion

Actual exam question for Google's ChromeOS Administrator exam
Question #: 17
Topic #: 1
[All ChromeOS Administrator Questions]

You are asked why ChromeOS devices do not require additional antivirus software. How should you respond?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

ChromeOS is designed with multiple layers of security to protect against malware and viruses:

Read-only file system: Most of the operating system is stored in a read-only partition, making it difficult for malware to modify critical files.

Verified boot: Ensures the integrity of the operating system during bootup, preventing tampering by unauthorized software.

Sandboxing: Isolates different processes and websites, limiting the potential damage of any malware that manages to get through.

Automatic updates: Regularly delivers security patches and updates to address vulnerabilities.

While ChromeOS doesn't come with traditional antivirus software, its built-in security features provide robust protection against most threats.

ChromeOS has a read-only system, so viruses can't really get in.

I thought every ChromeOS device came with built-in antivirus that updates automatically, but I'm not entirely confident about that. Is that option B?

I vaguely recall that ChromeOS devices don't need traditional antivirus because they handle updates differently. Was it about automatic updates?

I practiced a question similar to this, and I feel like the multi-layered security approach was mentioned. Could it be option C?

I think I remember that ChromeOS has a unique security model, but I'm not sure if it's the read-only part or something else that makes it safe from viruses.

Wait, I'm a little confused. Is the antivirus software automatically updated, or is it just pre-installed? I want to make sure I understand the details before answering.

Ah, I see. So ChromeOS has a multi-layered security approach that includes the read-only OS. That makes sense why additional antivirus wouldn't be needed. I feel good about this one.

Well, at least we know ChromeOS devices don't come with a free trial of McAfee that nags you for the next 10 years. That's a win in my book!

Hmm, I'm not sure about that. Doesn't ChromeOS also have some kind of sandboxing or isolation feature that prevents malware from affecting the whole system? I feel like that's part of the answer.
