Question 201

Which of the following prevents an employee from seeing a colleague who is visiting an inappropriate website?

    Correct Answer: C

    An Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) is a set of rules applied by the organization that restricts the ways in which the network, website, or system may be used. It defines what is deemed appropriate behavior and usage and sets the expected guidelines for internet and computer usage, including the consequences if these rules are violated. By having an AUP in place, an employee is deterred from accessing inappropriate websites in the first place, thereby preventing a colleague from witnessing such behavior.

This is what happens when CompTIA runs out of questions to make up and then they start sounding stupid -_-

This is the true answer

Very true. They are so hell bent on changing loads of questions so that the dumps don't work that they make up a lot of ambiguous drivel. There are only so many ways to ask the same concepts.

CompTIA is asking dating questions now

Afel_Null

WTF. Seeing as in dating? I thought it meant simply not founding out. If it's dating, than none of the answers, it cannot be done lawfully. If just not seeing, than only physically seperating them would work.

Somtimes I get the feeling CompTIA uses a random sentence generator for their questions -.-

D. I'm taking the approach of person x and person y are not web filter admins. Therefor person y can not view what person x did unless person x left their computer unprotected while using the bathroom.

SamwalkerOption: D

Guys, its D. Its asking what can prevent someone from seeing someone else watch something inappropriate. Basically what prevents you from knowing that I'm watching corn at work. It won't be AUP. If the work is separated, you won't know if im watching corn or not

It doesn't mean that people are physically separated. Just that workloads are divided so that one individual doesn't have too much influence on a project. Two people with separation of duties could still be sat next to each other, just working on different parts of the same project.

I agree with banditring. Time for a drink.

SkeptikerOption: D

This one is so poorly worded, it's insane. The only two answers I really go between is AUP and Separation of Duties. AUP defines what is acceptable for a user to be doing and consequences for not following the rules, which should've deterred the colleague from accessing an inappropriate site. However, the question states the colleague is accessing the site, so the only thing that fits is separation of duties, implying the other employee wouldn't be in his area or have the same privileges as him to be able to see what he is doing, but that's such a poor explanation.

Terrible question, neither AUP or SoD inherently PREVENT an employee from viewing the actions of another employee. AUP is a deterrent. It outlines acceptable policies and outlines the consequences of breaking/ignoring these policies. NIST states: There are various types of SOD, an important one is history-based SOD that regulate for example, the same subject (role) cannot access the same object for variable number of times. I guess there could be a scenario in where the two employees are physically separated, and that after the first employee performs their duty, they would not longer be able to access the system until the 2nd employee completes their duty, in which case the 2nd employee could privately visit corn sites before completing their task. Effectively preventing the other employee from viewing the action.

toffer96Option: C

Ugh. I think the answer they are looking for here is AUP. Separation of duties policy... that's more about preventing an employee from getting access to company resources that they're not supposed to have access to rather than an "inappropriate" website. Regardless, this question really should be worded better.

RyanL26

Prevent them from seeing what the person is doing on his computer, or seeing the person in general????? I am confused...

_deleteme_Option: C

C- Why? No looking over someone's shoulder. No shoulder surfing or violating their privacy, or privacy of the company if they are working on something you should not be looking at. AUP defines that policy, whether it is inappropriate or legit. Stupid Question by COMPTIA.

cannonOption: C

Separation of Duties is what prevents a application support person from logging into another teams servers (DNS, DHCP or database, etc) as well. It separates what servers each team has admin access to. It's heavily talked about in financial firms that have to comply with FDIC, FFIEC, SOX etc. The only answer that could actually "prevent" someone viewing corn at the PC/laptop level is AUP - Acceptable Use Policy using GPO's or firewall rules.

ArpilirOption: D

AUP does not prevent but deter. Moreover, it applies to the one visiting inappropriate website but not with the colleague from seeing someone doing it.

Separation of duties doesn't mean that people are physically separated. Just that workloads are divided so that one individual doesn't have too much influence on a project.
