Understanding Cisco Cybersecurity Operations Fundamentals (CBROPS) — Question 21

Which metric is used to capture the level of access needed to launch a successful attack?

Answer options

• A. privileges required
• B. user interaction
• C. attack complexity
• D. attack vector

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as 'privileges required' specifically refers to the access level necessary for an attacker to execute their attack. Options B, C, and D address other factors related to attacks, such as the need for user interaction, the complexity of the attack, and the method of delivery, but they do not directly measure access levels.
