Implementing and Operating Cisco Security Core Technologies (SCOR) — Question 10

Which two kinds of attacks are prevented by multifactor authentication? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. phishing
• B. brute force
• C. man-in-the-middle
• D. DDOS
• E. tear drop

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

Multifactor authentication (MFA) enhances security by requiring multiple forms of verification, making it harder for attackers to succeed with phishing and brute force attacks. While it can mitigate these types of attacks, it does not directly prevent man-in-the-middle attacks, DDOS, or tear drop attacks, which require different security measures.
