Why does the security administrator instruct the marketing staff not to supply the USB pens?
The marketing staff wants to supply pens with attached USB drives to clients. In the past, this client has been victimized by social engineering attacks that led to a loss of sensitive data.
A. Due to the risks associated with the large capacity of USB drives and their concealable nature.
B. Due to the risks associated with the small capacity of USB drives and their concealable nature.
C. Due to the risks associated with the medium capacity of USB drives and their concealable nature.
The answer to this is A. First of all, USB pens are a bit large by nature especially compared to the other USBs that are available right now. USB drivers right now also have large capacities. They can store different data. A lot of times, the data that will be placed are highly sensitive and should not get into the wrong hands.
Yet, it may happen especially when the pen is mistakenly taken. There are still other things that can be given by the company to their clients if they want to show that they still have other reliable products to offer so that they can be trusted by their clients again.
