CompTIA CASP+ (CAS-004) — Question 571

An architectural firm is working with its security team to ensure that any draft images that are leaked to the public can be traced back to a specific external party. Which of the following would BEST accomplish this goal?

Answer options

• A. Properly configure a secure file transfer system to ensure file integrity.
• B. Have the external parties sign non-disclosure agreements before sending any images.
• C. Only share images with external parties that have worked with the firm previously.
• D. Utilize watermarks in the images that are specific to each external party.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because utilizing watermarks that are specific to each external party allows for easy identification of the source of any leaked images. The other options do not provide a reliable method for tracing the source of leaks; for instance, non-disclosure agreements and previous relationships do not prevent leaks from occurring.
