Question #: 272
Topic #: 3
A junior security analyst opened ports on the company's firewall, and the company experienced a data breach. Which of the following most likely caused the data breach?

Suggested Answer: B Vote an answer

An accidental insider threat occurs when an employee, such as the junior security analyst in this case, unintentionally performs an action (e.g., opening firewall ports) that creates a security vulnerability. This can lead to a data breach, as the opened ports may expose the company's systems to external threats. The analyst's actions were unintentional, making this the most likely cause.
