• Fingerprint

• Smart Card

• Security Question

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) requires:

• At least one authentication factor

• At least two authentication factors

• Only a password

• A biometric scan only

Single Sign-On (SSO) allows users to:

• Use multiple passwords for different applications

• Authenticate once and access multiple applications

• Bypass authentication entirely

• Change passwords frequently

What is a risk associated with Single Sign-On (SSO)?

• Increased password complexity

• Multiple accounts are at risk if credentials are compromised

• Reduced user convenience

• Increased login times

Which of the following is a benefit of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)?

• It simplifies the login process

• It reduces the need for passwords

• It provides stronger security against password attacks

• It eliminates the need for user training

• Mandatory Access Control (MAC)

• Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

• Discretionary Access Control (DAC)

In which access control model is access strictly controlled by policies set by the system administrator?

• Discretionary Access Control (DAC)

• Mandatory Access Control (MAC)

• Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

• Rule-Based Access Control (RBAC)

Which of the following is an example of Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)?

• A user setting permissions for their own files

• A system administrator controlling access based on user roles

• A government agency restricting access to classified information

• A user accessing their email account

What is a recommended password length for security?

• 6-8 characters

• 8-10 characters

• 12-16 characters

• 20-24 characters
