CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 245

Which of the following threats will the use of a privacy screen on a computer help prevent?

Answer options

• A. Impersonation
• B. Shoulder surfing
• C. Whaling
• D. Tailgating

Correct answer: B

Explanation

A privacy screen is designed to restrict the viewing angle of a computer display, making it difficult for unauthorized individuals to see the information on the screen, thus helping to prevent shoulder surfing. The other options, such as impersonation, whaling, and tailgating, involve different types of security threats that are not mitigated by a privacy screen.
