A DMZ firewall wouldn't really stop this issue.

I keep getting mixed up between the different policies, but I think account expiration is crucial for preventing old accounts from being misused.

I practiced a similar question about unauthorized access, and I think an IDS system would just alert us after the fact, not prevent it.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like time of day restrictions could help too. It seems like a good preventive measure.

I remember discussing account expiration policies in class, so I think option C might be the best choice here.

I'm a bit unsure about this one. The DMZ firewall or IDS system options don't seem directly relevant to the problem described. I think the account expiration policy or time of day restrictions would be the way to go here.

Okay, let me think this through. Since the login belonged to a former employee, I'd say the best solution is a policy with account expiration. That way, once someone leaves the company, their access gets automatically revoked after a certain period of time.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm not sure if a DMZ firewall or an IDS system would have prevented this specific issue. The time of day restrictions or account expiration policy seem like the most relevant options here.

This seems like a straightforward question about access control policies. I think the best approach would be to focus on the key details - someone who left the company 12 months ago was still able to log in. That suggests the need for a policy with account expiration.

A DMZ firewall? Really? Isn't that a bit overkill for this situation? Someone's been watching too many hacker movies.

A policy with time of day restrictions? Sounds like someone's trying to micromanage the office hours. Not a fan.
