Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI v10) — Question 505

John is working on his company policies and guidelines. The section he is currently working on covers company documents; how they should be handled, stored, and eventually destroyed. John is concerned about the process whereby outdated documents are destroyed. What type of shredder should John write in the guidelines to be used when destroying documents?

Answer options

• A. Strip-cut shredder
• B. Cross-cut shredder
• C. Cross-hatch shredder
• D. Cris-cross shredder

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct choice is B, the Cross-cut shredder, as it provides a higher level of security by cutting documents into smaller pieces compared to a strip-cut shredder. A is incorrect because strip-cut shredders offer less security, and C and D do not represent standard shredder types, making them unsuitable for this context.
