CompTIA CASP+ (CAS-003) — Question 113

A company's Chief Operating Officer (COO) is concerned about the potential for competitors to infer proprietary information gathered from employees' social media accounts.

Which of the following methods should the company use to gauge its own social media threat level without targeting individual employees?

Answer options

• A. Utilize insider threat consultants to provide expertise.
• B. Require that employees divulge social media accounts.
• C. Leverage Big Data analytical algorithms.
• D. Perform social engineering tests to evaluate employee awareness.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as engaging insider threat specialists can provide valuable insights into potential vulnerabilities without focusing on individual employees. Options B and D involve targeting employees directly, which does not align with the question's requirement. Option C, while useful, does not specifically address the social media threat level assessment as effectively as consulting experts.
