Question 510
A network specialist investigates this evidence: An exposed VPN accepts only static passwords and stolen credentials have been used to connect. Which underlying condition BEST explains the observed failure or requirement?
Explanation
Correct Answer
A single compromised factor is sufficient to authenticate. Independent authentication factors reduce password-only exposure.
Incorrect Answers
Geolocation is approximate and can be evaded through tunnels. That does not establish a single compromised factor is sufficient to authenticate.
Data at rest is exposed when the storage device leaves custody. That does not establish a single compromised factor is sufficient to authenticate.
Physical custody is insufficient around critical devices. That does not establish a single compromised factor is sufficient to authenticate.
