Johana was working on a confidential project on her laptop. After working for long hours, she wanted to have a coffee break. Johana left the system active with the project file open and went for a coffee break. Soon after Johana left the place, Bob accessed Johana's system and modified the project file.

Which of the following security guidelines did Johana fail to comply with?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

One of the most basic and important security guidelines for laptop users is to always log off or lock the system when unattended. This prevents unauthorized access to the system and the data stored on it by anyone who might have physical access to the laptop. Logging off or locking the system requires a password or other authentication method to resume the session, which adds a layer of protection to the laptop. Johana failed to comply with this security guideline, as she left the system active with the project file open and went for a coffee break, allowing Bob to access her system and modify the project file.

Definitely sounds like she failed to log off or lock her system. I practiced a similar scenario where that was the key mistake.

I recall something about keeping passwords different, but that seems less relevant here. It feels like the main issue is leaving the system unattended.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like sharing account details is a big no-no. Maybe that's what she did wrong?

I think Johana should have locked her system when she left. I remember a practice question about locking screens when stepping away.

Okay, I think I've got it. Johana should have locked or logged off her system before leaving, even for a short coffee break. Option A is the security guideline she failed to comply with.

Ah, I see the key here is that Johana left the system active with the project file open. So option A is definitely the right answer.

This one seems pretty straightforward. I'm going to go with option A - always log off or lock the system when unattended.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure here. I'm thinking it could also be option B - not sharing your computer user account details. Let me re-read the question carefully.

I'm a little confused on the differences between these compliance features. Can anyone provide a quick overview to help me decide which one is most appropriate here?

Okay, let me think this through. The key details are "badge readers" and "job roles". That makes me think it's probably role-based access control, since that's about controlling access based on someone's position or responsibilities.
