CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 396

A malicious insider from the marketing team alters records and transfers company funds to a personal account. Which of the following methods would be the best way to secure company records in the future?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Implementing permission restrictions is crucial as it limits access rights to sensitive records, reducing the risk of unauthorized alterations by insiders. While hashing and input validation are important for data integrity and security, they do not directly prevent unauthorized access to records. An access control list can help, but permission restrictions provide a more comprehensive approach to ensuring that only authorized personnel can modify records.
