security admin wants to keep users from plugging unapproved smartphones into their computers and transfer data.
which is the best control?

1. data loss prevention
2. mobile device management

cyberguypr

Mobile device management controls company phones. Does nothing for unapproved/personal devices (unless people voluntarily submit to BYOD policies, but this is outside the scope of the question). DLP controls movement of data across exfiltration vectors such as cloud, mobile, etc. so this is the answer.

3 weeks after a programmer was terminated, helpdesk has several calls that computers are being infected with malware.
upon research it is found that employees downloaded a toolbar. the toolbar downloaded and installed the malicious code. which attack is this?

1. logic bomb
2. malicious add-on
3. XSS

I am leaning to malicious add-on, but there is a mention of a programmer leaving the company which makes me think logic bomb.

standard malicious add-on. people install random crap from the first google result for "vlc" and click next a bunch of times then act surprised when their stuff starts going wrong

assuming there is a patch, patch the printer. VLANing will mitigate too unless people need to access the printer.

things is, it says "print server" not printer. so I think separate network/vlan.

Don't understand this question. TACACS+ and RADIUS provide Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA). Kerberos provides Authentication and Authorization (No Accounting). Can we choose more than one answer or am I missing something here?
