Certified Network Defender (CND) — Question 135

Ross manages 30 employees and only 25 computers in the organization. The network the company uses is a peer-to-peer. Ross configures access control measures allowing the employees to set their own control measures for their files and folders. Which access control did Ross implement?

Answer options

• A. Mandatory access control
• B. Non-discretionary access control
• C. Discretionary access control
• D. Role-based access control

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Discretionary access control, because it allows users to decide who can access their files and folders. The other options, such as Mandatory access control and Role-based access control, do not provide this level of user autonomy in managing their own permissions.
