A corporate office recently had a security audit and the IT manager has decided to implement very
strict security standards. The following requirements are now in place for each employee logging
into the network:
Biometric fingerprint scan
Complex 12 character password
5 digit pin code authorization
Randomized security question prompt upon login
Which of the following security setups does this company employ?
A.
Single factor authentication
B.
Three factor authentication
C.
Two factor authentication
D.
Single sign-on
Explanation:
According to proponents, two-factor authentication could drastically reduce the
incidence of online identity theft, phishing expeditions, and other online fraud, because the victim’s
password would no longer be enough to give a thief access to their information.
