Which remediation step is recommended to prevent employees from giving away valid login credentials in the future?
Skip to content Homework Help : Questions and Answers: Which remediation step is recommended to prevent employees from giving away valid login credentials in the future?
A. Mandate all employees take security awareness training. B. Increase password complexity requirements. C. Implement an IPS. D. Implement multi-factor authentication.
Answer:
First, let’s understand the question: It’s about for a remediation step to prevent employees from giving away valid login credentials.
Given Options: Step by Step Answering
a) Mandate all employees take security awareness training :
Security awareness training educates employees about potential threats, phishing schemes, and safe practices for handling credentials. It directly addresses the issue of employees giving away their login credentials, as they learn how to recognize and avoid social engineering attacks. b) Increase password complexity requirements :
This step would make passwords harder to guess by requiring stronger passwords (e.g., longer passwords, special characters). While this increases security, it does not directly prevent employees from giving away their credentials through phishing or social engineering. Increasing complexity might reduce password cracking but does not address human error in giving credentials away. c) Implement an IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) :
An IPS monitors network traffic for suspicious activity and can block certain attacks. While useful in blocking attacks, it does not address human error (employees giving away their credentials). An IPS improves network security but doesn’t directly prevent credential leakage due to phishing. d) Implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) :
MFA requires users to provide two or more verification factors (e.g., password + a one-time code sent to their phone). Even if an employee gives away their password, MFA adds an extra layer of security that attackers would need to bypass. MFA significantly mitigates the risk of credential compromise, even if credentials are stolen. Final Answer:
Based on the above analysis, the two most relevant options are A (Security Awareness Training ) and D (Multi-factor Authentication), as both directly address the risk of credentials being given away.
However, the best answer is D. Implement multi-factor authentication because even if employees accidentally share their login credentials, the additional authentication factor prevents unauthorized access.
