The Four Areas of Information Technology Employment

Question 1 • NC-Foundations of Information Technology

Which of the following scenarios describes an IT professional using good methods to protect passwords and system access of users? Check all of the boxes that apply.

Answer
A
When setting up the e-mail program for each employee’s computer, the IT professional has the employee enter his or her e-mail password to protect privacy.
B
The IT professional posts a list of employee usernames and passwords on the wall.
C
The IT professional views an employee’s browsing history while the employee is on a fifteen-minute break.

Explanation

Having each employee enter their own e-mail password keeps the password private while the account is set up, so A is a good way to protect access. Posting usernames and passwords where others can see them exposes accounts, and viewing an employee’s browsing history without a clear work-related reason does not protect the employee’s privacy.
