Human Factor — CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) Practice Questions

The human factor acknowledges that people, not technology, are frequently the weakest link in any security posture. SY0-701 covers how human error, insider threats, poor password hygiene, and susceptibility to manipulation contribute to security incidents. The exam expects candidates to understand how organizational policies, role-based access controls, and separation of duties reduce risk introduced by human behavior. Addressing the human factor is a core theme because technical controls alone cannot compensate for employees who are untrained or unmotivated to follow security practices.
