Topic #: 1
After remote desktop capabilities were deployed in the environment, various vulnerabilities were noticed.
- Exfiltration of intellectual property
- Unencrypted files
- Weak user passwords
Which of the following is the best way to mitigate these vulnerabilities? (Select two).

Suggested Answer: A,E Vote an answer

To mitigate the identified vulnerabilities, the following solutions are most appropriate:
Implementing data loss prevention (DLP): DLP solutions help prevent the unauthorized transfer of data outside the organization. This directly addresses the exfiltration of intellectual property by monitoring, detecting, and blocking sensitive data transfers.
Enabling modern authentication that supports Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): This significantly enhances security by requiring additional verification methods beyond just passwords. It addresses the issue of weak user passwords by making it much harder for unauthorized users to gain access, even if they obtain the password.
