Google Cloud Professional Cloud Security Engineer — Question 39

An organization receives an increasing number of phishing emails.
Which method should be used to protect employee credentials in this situation?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Multifactor Authentication (MFA) adds an extra layer of security by requiring additional verification beyond just a password, making it harder for attackers to gain access even if they acquire credentials through phishing. A strict password policy can help, but it doesn't provide the same level of protection against stolen credentials. Captcha on login pages helps prevent automated attacks but doesn't directly protect credentials from phishing. Encrypted emails secure the content of emails but do not directly address the issue of credential theft through phishing.
