The Chief Executive Officer at a bank recently saw a news report about a high-profile cybercrime where a remote-access tool that the bank uses for support was also used in this crime. The report stated that attackers were able to brute force passwords to access systems. Which of the following would BEST limit the bank's risk? (Choose two.)
Answer: AF
Only allowing five password attempts disallows an attacker from brute forcing their way into a network/computer system, unless they had a good dictionary attack. Multifactor is always recommended for extra security, whether that extra step is a biometric access (Sometimes considered intrusive), or by a physical control access key, i.e. card badge reader. If both of those answers did not satisfy then having location factor security is a good third option, but attacker would just have to be in the right place.
