    Computer security breaches can be minimized by incorporating which feature into a computer system’s operation?
    Question



    Computer security breaches can be minimized by incorporating which feature into a computer system’s operation?

    A.

    Installation of software of user’s choice

    B.

    The ability to log into multiple nodes, using only one account

    C.

    Forced log off from the system if no activity has been detected

    D.

    Allowing the uploading and downloading of files to the system

    Correct option is C

    A forced log off from the system after detecting no activity (also known as session timeout) minimizes the risk of unauthorized access. This feature ensures that unattended systems do not remain accessible, reducing vulnerabilities to unauthorized use or data breaches.
    Information Booster:
    1. Forced log off (session timeout): Automatically logs a user out after a specified period of inactivity, safeguarding sensitive information.
    2. It prevents malicious users from accessing systems that are left unattended.
    3. It is widely implemented in secure systems like banking websites, corporate systems, and government networks.
    Additional Knowledge :
    · Installation of software of user’s choice (a): Increases security risks by potentially allowing unverified or malicious applications to be installed.
    · Ability to log into multiple nodes with one account (b): Increases the attack surface and makes it easier for unauthorized access if credentials are compromised.
    · Allowing uploading and downloading of files (d): Can lead to malware infections or data leaks without proper monitoring and controls.
