Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) — Question 87

How does Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) assist with asset management?

Answer options

• A. It uses biometric information for system identification.
• B. It uses two-factor authentication (2FA) for system identification.
• C. It transmits unique serial numbers wirelessly.
• D. It transmits unique Media Access Control (MAC) addresses wirelessly.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because RFID technology works by transmitting unique serial numbers that identify each asset, allowing for efficient tracking and management. Options A and B are incorrect as they refer to different identification methods that do not involve RFID. Option D is also incorrect as MAC addresses are specific to network interfaces and not typically used for asset management in the context of RFID.
