The network was breached over the weekend. System logs indicate that a single user's account was successfully breached after 500 attempts with a dictionary attack. Which of the following would BEST mitigate this threat?
An 'Account Lockout' is a critical security feature that disables an account after a defined number of failed login attempts with an incorrect password, aiming to prevent brute-force password guessing attacks.
Any better encryption method won't help since a brute-force attack can still guess the password, so A is not the answer. C is not the answer because it has to do with the orientation of the screen. D is not the answer because antiviruses don't have anything to do with brute-force attacks. Therefore, B is the best answer.
