Question 305

Which technology should be used to help prevent an attacker from stealing usernames and passwords of users within an organization?

    Correct Answer: D

    Multifactor authentication (MFA) is a security technology that requires multiple forms of verification to prove identity, making it more difficult for attackers to steal usernames and passwords. Even if an attacker manages to acquire the credentials, they would still need the second form of verification (e.g., a code sent to a user's phone) to gain access.

Within the organisation. I go for DAI. C

ok, it makes sense. But if non-username/password authentication goes first, man in the middle will never got to credentials either (as well putting aside that it will be encrypted and he will see nothing anyway). So again - thank you Cisco, hope they are marking both answers if selected as correct, otherwise the exams are becoming quite shitty
