Exam SY0-401 topic 5 question 58 discussion

Actual exam question from CompTIA's SY0-401
Question #: 58
Topic #: 5
[All SY0-401 Questions]

One of the most basic ways to protect the confidentiality of data on a laptop in the event the device is physically stolen is to implement the following:

  • A. File level encryption with alphanumeric passwords
  • B. Biometric authentication and cloud storage
  • C. Whole disk encryption with two-factor authentication
  • D. BIOS passwords and two-factor authentication
Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C 🗳️
Whole-disk encryption only provides reasonable protection when the system is fully powered off. To make the most of the defensive strength of whole-disk encryption, a long, complex passphrase should be used to unlock the system on bootup. Combining whole-disk encryption with two factor authentication would further increase protection.
