QuestionQ20

Operational Procedures

An organization observes that employees frequently leave their desks without logging off their workstations, resulting in unauthorized access by other staff members. Which of the following should the IT department do to address this problem?

  • A Implement full disk encryption.
  • B Disable remote desktop access.
  • C Configure inactivity timeout settings.
  • D Set up multifactor authentication.
Explanation

An inactivity timeout automatically locks an unattended workstation after a specified period of no user input, preventing others from using the active session without reauthentication. Microsoft’s Interactive logon: Machine inactivity limit policy is specifically intended to limit unauthorized access when a signed-in user leaves without locking the desktop.
