The chief Security Officer (CSO) has reported a rise in data loss but no break ins have occurred. By doing
which of the following is the CSO most likely to reduce the number of incidents?
A.
Implement protected distribution
B.
Empty additional firewalls
C.
Conduct security awareness training
D.
Install perimeter barricades
Answer should be “C”. Protected distribution is physical security. The question says no break ins have occurred so you don’t need PDS.

” A protective distribution system (PDS), also called protected distribution system, is a US government term for wireline or fiber-optics telecommunication system that includes terminals and adequate acoustical, electrical, electromagnetic, and physical safeguards to permit its use for the unencrypted transmission of classified information.” Pretty extreme.

A protective distribution system (PDS), also called protected distribution system, is a US government term for wireline or fiber-optics
telecommunication system that includes terminals and adequate acoustical, electrical, electromagnetic, and physical safeguards to permit its use for the
unencrypted transmission of classified information. At one time these systems were called “approved circuits”.
I chose C as the answer but then I chose A… Don’t know if I am right!

I read the Kingfisher book and this is what it said: lol
Some organizations and government agencies require the use of a protected distribution
system (PDS) for wired connections. These approved circuits use all of the
techniques mentioned previously in this section to secure the unencrypted transmission
of classified information. It is all-encompassing: cables, terminals, and other
equipment, including safeguards for electrical, electromagnetic, and acoustical concerns.
Keep in mind that the Security+ exam does not go too far in depth for this subject,
but realize that you might get a question on wire tapping, and remember that any
network can be hacked! It is more common to attempt hacking into wireless networks.
So let’s delve into the basics of that immense subject next.
