Sandeep wants to address the potential for impersonation attacks against her helpdesk. What technique is most likely to prevent impersonation attacks from being successful with her support staff?

Answer Options

A

Require callers to verify their identity using non-public information.

B

Avoid publishing the help desk's phone number externally.

C

Require users to complete awareness training.

D

Require callers to provide a callback number and call back before completing tasks.

Correct Answer: A

Explanation

Requiring callers to validate their identity using non-public information can help to prevent impersonation attacks. Not publishing a support number externally means that internal users will still have it and that it can be leaked or found. Requiring users to provide a callback number only works if business numbers are used, and this tends to prevent support from being effective for traveling users and others who may not be at a desk or able to use a soft phone due to technology issues. User awareness training won't protect the help desk staff from making mistakes.
