Certified Information Privacy Technologist (CIPT) — Question 200

An organization's customers have suffered a number of data breaches through successful social engineering attacks. One potential solution to remediate and prevent future occurrences would be to implement which of the following?

Answer options

• A. Differential identifiability
• B. Multi-factor authentication
• C. Greater password complexity
• D. Attribute-based access control

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Multi-factor authentication, as it adds an additional layer of security beyond just a password, making it harder for attackers to gain unauthorized access. The other options, while they may enhance security in their own ways, do not provide the same level of protection against social engineering attacks as multi-factor authentication does.
