Which access control model uses an access control list (ACL) to determine access?

• Role-based access control (RBAC)

• Mandatory access control (MAC)

• Discretionary access control (DAC)

• Attribute-based access control (ABAC)

Answer explanation

Discretionary access control (DAC) uses an access control list (ACL) to determine access, allowing users to control access to their own resources.

True or false: A honeypot is a trap that allows the intruder in but does not allow access to sensitive data.

• True

• False

Answer explanation

True because a honeypot is designed to lure intruders in while protecting sensitive data, allowing the intruder access to a fake system or network.

Which IEEE standard defines port-based security for wireless network access control?

• IEEE 802.11

• IEEE 802.15

• IEEE 802.3

• IEEE 802.1X

Answer explanation

IEEE 802.1X defines port-based security for wireless network access control, making it the correct choice.

What enables a user to log in to a system and access multiple systems or resources without the need to repeatedly reenter the username and password?

• Multi-factor authentication (MFA)

• Single sign-on (SSO)

• Virtual private network (VPN)

• Public key infrastructure (PKI)

Answer explanation

Single sign-on (SSO) allows a user to log in once and access multiple systems without reentering credentials.
