CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 512

The IT department at an insurance brokerage needs to acquire laptops that have built-in fingerprint readers in order to create a more secure environment. Which of the following would be the MOST secure way to implement the fingerprint readers?

Answer options

• A. Grant all registered employees access to each machine.
• B. Restrict device access to only the user to whom the laptop is assigned.
• C. Limit device access to departments and guest users.
• D. Give each team member a USB drive that bypasses the reader to allow guest users to log in.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because restricting access to only the assigned user ensures that sensitive information is protected from unauthorized access. Option A is insecure as it allows any registered employee to access any laptop, while C still exposes devices to more users than necessary, and D compromises security by enabling bypassing of the fingerprint reader.
