CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 474

A network administrator is implementing multifactor authentication for employees who travel and use company devices remotely by using the company VPN.
Which of the following would provide the required level of authentication?

Answer options

• A. 802.1X and OTP
• B. Fingerprint scanner and voice recognition
• C. RBAC and PIN
• D. Username/Password and TOTP

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as 802.1X provides network access control and OTP (One-Time Password) offers a second layer of security, both essential for multifactor authentication. The other options do not offer the same level of security or are not suitable for remote access scenarios like VPN connections.
