CompTIA A+ (220-902) — Question 12

Which of the following will help to protect an organization from further data exposure AFTER a list of user passwords has already been leaked due to policy breach? (Select TWO).

Answer options

• A. Use multi-factor authentication
• B. Require strong passwords
• C. Enable file encryption
• D. Educate end users
• E. Restrict user permissions

Correct answer: A, D

Explanation

Implementing multi-factor authentication (A) adds an extra layer of security, making it harder for unauthorized users to gain access even with leaked passwords. Training end users (D) enhances awareness about security practices, reducing the risk of further breaches. The other options, while beneficial for prevention, do not directly address the immediate concern of protecting against additional exposure following a breach.
