Question 8 • TX-Business Information Management (BIM) I

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.
