CISSP – Information Systems Security Architecture Professional (ISSAP) — Question 52

You are the administrator for YupNo.com. You want to increase and enhance the security of your computers and simplify deployment. You are especially concerned with any portable computers that are used by remote employees. What can you use to increase security, while still allowing your users to perform critical tasks?

Answer options

• A. BitLocker
• B. Smart Cards
• C. Service Accounts
• D. AppLocker

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Smart Cards provide a strong method of authentication, enhancing security for portable computers used by remote employees. While BitLocker secures data on drives, it doesn't directly facilitate user authentication. Service Accounts are primarily used for running services rather than enhancing user security, and AppLocker is focused on application control rather than user identity verification.
