Wait, are we really expecting less security at data centers? That seems off.

Attackers always look for vulnerabilities, that's a given.

VPN demand is gonna skyrocket for sure!

I doubt physical security at data centers will change much.
GL

Definitely gonna see more remote workers in insecure setups.

C makes sense because more remote workers would definitely need support, but I wonder if that's the least likely outcome.
BR

I feel like D is definitely a possibility, but I can't recall if attackers would really focus on operational changes during a pandemic.

I'm not sure, but I remember a practice question where remote work led to more security issues, so A might be the answer.
LU

I think option B seems the least likely since a pandemic would probably reduce the need for physical security at offices.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. I know histograms show the distribution of values, but I'm not sure if that's the same as displaying the individual readings. I'll have to think this through.

Okay, I've got this. The key is ensuring traffic symmetry for DPI to work properly. Option C is the way to go.

I'm pretty sure the first step involves sending a formal request letter between central authorities. That sounds like official diplomatic procedure.

This question seems straightforward, but I want to make sure I understand the key terms like "IoEs" and "human attack surface" before answering.

I bet the person who wrote this question is sitting at home in their pajamas, cackling maniacally. Option B is the correct answer, but only because the other choices are too obvious.

D is the least likely? Really? Attackers are probably salivating at the thought of all those juicy vulnerabilities. This question is clearly a trap!
JA

Hmm, I'm going to go with A. A global pandemic is bound to lead to a surge in remote work, which is always a security nightmare.

D is a valid concern as well, attackers may take advantage of operational changes during a pandemic.
HE

C could also be a result, with more users needing additional tools for remote access.
IN

I think B is also a possibility, with the need for increased physical security measures.
CA
Casie

I agree, remote work can definitely pose security risks.
LE

Haha, the correct answer is obviously B. Who needs physical security when we're all working from our bathrooms, am I right?
BR

D) An upsurge in activity by attackers seeking vulnerabilities caused by operational changes.
JE

A) A large increase in remote workers operating in insecure premises.
RE

This is a tricky one. I'd say option B is the least likely. A global pandemic would likely cause the opposite - a reduction in physical security requirements as companies focus on remote work.
DO

But with more remote workers, there could be more vulnerabilities.
SA

I disagree, I believe option A is the least likely.

I think option B is the least likely.
