    Reclassifying the enterprise security policy as a deterrent physical control
  4. D
    Providing mandatory training on identifying voice-based vishing over mobile phones

Cevap

Conducting role-based security training focused on out-of-band transaction verification procedures
Role-based security awareness training provides targeted instruction tailored to specific job responsibilities. For employees handling financial transfers, training them on out-of-band verification (confirming requests through a separate, trusted channel) directly addresses human risk associated with Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the threat vector described in the scenario
Identified a Business Email Compromise (BEC) attack targeting financial staff via spoofed executive emails.
Understanding the specific attack vector is essential to selecting an appropriate control.
2
Evaluate human risk mitigation options
Selected role-based security awareness training that addresses the specific business process (wire transfers) and emphasizes out-of-band verification.
General or mismatched training does not build the specific operational safeguards needed by high-risk job roles.
