CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 233

A manager receives an email that contains a link to receive a refund. After hovering over the link, the manager notices that the domain's URL points to a suspicious link. Which of the following security practices helped the manager to identify the attack?

Answer options

• A. End user training
• B. Policy review
• C. URL scanning
• D. Plain text email

Correct answer: A

Explanation

End user training is crucial as it educates employees on recognizing phishing attempts and suspicious links. The other options, while useful in various contexts, do not directly equip the manager with the skills necessary to discern the legitimacy of the email link.
