A device that prevents unauthorized access
A backup system
#15
What is the principle behind two-factor authentication (2FA)?
Using two different programming languages
Verifying identity with two separate factors
Executing two operations simultaneously
Using two different devices for programming
#16
What is the significance of the principle of least privilege in access control?
Granting maximum permissions to all users
Granting the minimum necessary permissions for a user to perform their job functions
Ignoring access control altogether
Randomly assigning permissions
#17
What is the purpose of intrusion detection systems (IDS) in security?
To create program backups
To detect and respond to unauthorized access or activities
To enhance user experience
To speed up program execution
#18
What is the purpose of biometric authentication in program security?
To enhance program aesthetics
To verify identity using physical or behavioral characteristics
To increase program file size
To hide program code
#19
What is the difference between symmetric and asymmetric encryption?
They are the same
Symmetric uses one key for both encryption and decryption, while asymmetric uses different keys
Symmetric uses different keys for encryption and decryption, while asymmetric uses one key
They are irrelevant to program security
#20
What is the concept of zero trust security in the context of access control?
Trusting everyone by default
Verifying and validating the identity of every user, device, or application before granting access
Trusting only internal users
Ignoring security measures
