CompTIA CySA+ (CS0-003) — Question 484

There are several reports of sensitive information being disclosed via file sharing services. The company would like to improve its security posture against this threat. Which of the following security controls would best support the company in this scenario?

Answer options

• A. Implement step-up authentication for administrators
• B. Improve employee training and awareness
• C. Increase password complexity standards
• D. Deploy mobile device management

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Enhancing employee training and awareness is crucial because it educates staff on the risks associated with file sharing and promotes secure practices. While step-up authentication, password complexity, and mobile device management are important security measures, they do not directly address the issue of employees inadvertently sharing sensitive information.
