A police officer often leaves a workstation for several minutes at a time. Which of the following is the BEST way the officer can secure the workstation quickly when walking away?
Answer: A
If a police officer often leaves a workstation for several minutes at a time, the best way to secure the workstation quickly when walking away is to use a key combination to lock the computer. This will prevent unauthorized access to the computer while the officer is away . Ensuring no unauthorized personnel are in the area is not a practical solution as it is difficult to control who enters the area. Configuring a screensaver to lock the computer automatically after approximately 30 minutes of inactivity is a good security practice, but it is not the best solution to the problem described in the question. Turning off the monitor to prevent unauthorized visibility of information is also not a practical solution as it does not prevent unauthorized access to the computer. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Use a key combination to lock the computer when leaving.
