I practiced a question like this, and I think layered security was the answer then too. It just makes sense to have multiple defenses.

Configuration management sounds familiar, but I can't recall how it directly prevents breaches compared to layered security.

I think a layered security program might be the best choice here, but I'm not entirely sure if it covers everything.

I'm a little confused on this one. I was thinking option A, a data forensics program, might be the best choice, but now I'm second-guessing myself. I'll have to review the material one more time before deciding.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I'm leaning towards option B, a configuration management program, but I'm not 100% confident. I'll have to think it through a bit more.

Incident response? More like incident *prevention*, am I right? Let's not wait for the bad stuff to happen, let's just make sure it doesn't happen in the first place.
