Answer / guest
Answer: A
Any person with wrongful intentions can connect a laptop to
the network. The unsecured connecting points make
unauthorized access possible if the individual has knowledge
of a valid user id and password. The other choices are
controls for preventing unauthorized network access. If
system passwords are not readily available for intruders to
use, they must guess, which introduces an additional factor
and requires time. System passwords provide protection
against unauthorized use of terminals located in unsecured
locations. Supervision is a very effective control when used
to monitor access to a small operating unit or production
resources.
