John is planning to implement a security policy that restricts the user from using the USB and FireWire ports on the computer. Which of the following is a justification to this policy?
  1. USB and FireWire devices are easy to hack into.
  2. USB and FireWire devices have no built-in security features.
  3. USB and FireWire devices are slower.
  4. USB and FireWire devices are hot swappable.
Explanation
Answer - B - The justification to this policy is that they have no built-in security features.

Key Takeaway: USB and FireWire drives’ hot-swapping capability makes them undesirable in a server environment. Unauthorized individuals could possibly plug in a USB or FireWire device and gain immediate access to data on the server. Sealing or blocking these ports ensures that data cannot be downloaded on to these drives.
