When Ann an employee returns to work and logs into her workstation she notices that, several
desktop configuration settings have changed. Upon a review of the CCTV logs, it is determined
that someone logged into Ann’s workstation. Which of the following could have prevented this from
happening?

A.
Password complexity policy

B.
User access reviews

C.
Shared account prohibition policy

D.
User assigned permissions policy

The most important countermeasure against password crackers is to use long, complex
passwords, which are changed regularly. Since changes were made to Ann’s desktop
configuration settings while she was not at work, means that her password was compromised.
