During an assessment, a penetration tester found an application with the default credentials enabled. Which of the following best describes the technical control required to fix this issue?
* System hardening involves securing a system by reducing its surface of vulnerability, which includes changing default credentials, disabling unnecessary services, and applying security patches.
* Details:
A . Password encryption: Secures passwords but does not address the issue of default credentials.
B . System hardening: Comprehensive approach to securing the system, including changing default credentials.
C . Multifactor authentication: Adds an additional layer of security but does not solve the problem of default credentials being enabled.
D . Patch management: Ensures software is up-to-date but does not directly address default credentials.
* Reference: System hardening is a fundamental practice in securing systems and preventing unauthorized access, as detailed in security best practices and guidelines.
