Questions and Answers

1. Which of the below is not used for Multi-factor authentication?
- A. Something you do
- B. Something you have
- C. Something you know
- D. Something you are
Correct Answer
A. Something you doExplanation
“Something you do” is not used for multi-factor authentication. Multi-factor authentication typically involves using a combination of two or more factors to verify a user’s identity. These factors can include “something you have” (such as a physical token or a mobile device), “something you know” (such as a password or PIN), and “something you are” (such as biometric data like fingerprints or facial recognition). However, “something you do” refers to behavioral biometrics, which is a separate authentication method that analyzes patterns of behavior, such as typing speed or mouse movements, to verify identity.Rate this question:
2. Which of the below is not a best practice of choosing Strong Passwords?
- A. Make it impersonal
- B. Make it long
- C. Make it diverse
- D. Make it numeric
Correct Answer
D. Make it numericExplanation
Making a password numeric is actually a best practice for choosing strong passwords. Including numbers in a password adds complexity and makes it harder for attackers to guess or crack the password. Therefore, the given answer is incorrect.Rate this question:
3. Which of the below is not a part of the Clean Desk Policy?
- A. Tidy your desk
- B. Lock your screen
- C. Hiding passwords below keyboard

Correct Answer
C. Hiding passwords below keyboardExplanation
The Clean Desk Policy aims to maintain a clutter-free and secure work environment. Tidying your desk, locking your screen, and putting away sensitive documents are all practices that align with this policy.

Correct Answer
D. Install any software without approvalExplanation
The correct answer is “Install any software without approval.” This is not a part of the appropriate use – Laptop Security Policy because it can pose a security risk to the laptop and the network.

The statement “Use official Email ID for personal purposes” is not a part of the appropriate use – Email Security Policy. This policy is designed to ensure the security and confidentiality of email communication within an organization. Using official email IDs for personal purposes may compromise the security of sensitive information and increase the risk of unauthorized access or data breaches. It is important to separate personal and official email accounts to maintain the integrity of the organization’s email security policy.Rate this question:
