CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 47

A user wanted to catch up on some work over the weekend but had issues logging in to the corporate network using a VPN. On Monday, the user opened a ticket for this issue but was able to log in successfully. Which of the following BEST describes the policy that is being implemented?

Answer options

• A. Time-based logins
• B. Geofencing
• C. Network location
• D. Password history

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as the user's inability to log in on the weekend suggests that time-based restrictions were in place. The other options do not apply; geofencing relates to geographic boundaries, network location deals with specific network access points, and password history is about past passwords and does not pertain to time restrictions.
