Understanding Cisco Cybersecurity Operations Fundamentals (CBROPS) — Question 320

What causes events on a Windows system to show Event Code 4625 in the log messages?

Answer options

• A. The system detected an XSS attack
• B. Someone is trying a brute force attack on the network
• C. Another device is gaining root access to the system
• D. A privileged user successfully logged into the system

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Event Code 4625 indicates a failed login attempt, which typically occurs during brute force attacks as unauthorized users try to gain access. The other options describe scenarios that do not directly result in Event Code 4625, such as successful logins or attacks that are not representative of failed logins.
