Certified Data Privacy Solutions Engineer (CDPSE) — Question 208

Which of the following is the best way to reduce the risk of compromised credentials when an organization allows employees to have remote access?

Answer options

• A. Enable whole disk encryption on remote devices.
• B. Purchase an endpoint detection and response (EDR) tool.
• C. Implement multi-factor authentication.
• D. Deploy single sign-on with complex password requirements.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as multi-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security by requiring additional verification beyond just a password, significantly reducing the chance of credential compromise. Options A and B enhance security but do not specifically address the issue of credential theft. Option D, while improving password security, does not provide the same level of protection as multi-factor authentication.
