CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 541

A network resource was accessed by an outsider as a result of a successful phishing campaign. Which of the following strategies should be employed to mitigate the effects of phishing?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Multifactor authentication is effective in mitigating phishing attacks because it adds an additional layer of security, requiring users to provide multiple forms of verification before accessing resources. The other options, while useful for different purposes, do not specifically address the risks associated with phishing, as they do not require additional verification steps that can prevent unauthorized access.
