C.
Strong authentication
D.
User education
Explanation:
Phishing attacks can be mounted in various ways; intrusion detection systems (IDSs) and strong authentication
cannot mitigate most types of phishing attacks. Assessing web site security does not mitigate the risk. Phishing
uses a server masquerading as a legitimate server. The best way to mitigate the risk of phishing is to educateusers to take caution with suspicious internet communications and not to trust them until verified. Users require
adequate training to recognize suspicious web page sand e-mail.
