Implementing and Operating Cisco Security Core Technologies (SCOR) — Question 429

A security audit recently revealed that an administrator is using the same password of C1$c0448845217 for his personal account across multiple systems. What must be implemented by the company to reduce the chances of this happening again?

Answer options

• A. centralized user authentication
• B. role based access control
• C. security awareness training
• D. strict password policies

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Implementing security awareness training is crucial because it educates users about the risks of reusing passwords and the importance of maintaining unique credentials for different accounts. While strict password policies and centralized authentication can help, they do not address the underlying behavior of users, making awareness training the most effective solution in this scenario.
