Understanding Cisco Cybersecurity Operations Fundamentals (CBROPS) — Question 38

Which security principle requires more than one person is required to perform a critical task?

Answer options

• A. least privilege
• B. need to know
• C. separation of duties
• D. due diligence

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, separation of duties, which ensures that no single individual has complete control over a critical task, thereby reducing the risk of fraud or error. Options A and B, least privilege and need to know, focus on restricting access to resources rather than dividing responsibilities, while D, due diligence, pertains to the care taken to avoid harm but does not address the need for multiple individuals in a task.
