CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) — Question 155

A new policy requires all users to log on to their corporate workstations using smart card authentication. Which of the following best practices should be implemented to further secure access to workstations?

Answer options

• A. Data encryption
• B. Screen lock timeouts
• C. Required screensavers
• D. Strong passwords

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Implementing screen lock timeouts ensures that workstations automatically lock after a period of inactivity, reducing the risk of unauthorized access. While data encryption, required screensavers, and strong passwords contribute to overall security, they do not directly address the immediate risk posed by an unattended workstation.
