John is a security advisor at his organization. A number of anonymous users are complaining about data being stolen from their computers. Which of the following should he enforce to avoid data theft?
  1. Multi factor authentication
  2. Token authentication
  3. Smart card authentication
  4. No removable-media drives or ports on the computers policy
Explanation
Answer: D - To avoid data theft, John should enforce a policy that states that no removable media be used on the office computers.

Key Takeaway: Use of removable media is the easiest and most common method of stealing data. Organizations should block or remove all removable drive media, slots, and ports. Biometric, smart card, and tokens should be used to authenticate employees. However, these cannot be used as the only means of protection from data theft in the organization.
