Yes, there will be detailed explanations of why the correct answer is correct and why the incorrect answers are incorrect.

Easy (E) level sample question:
Louise is the IT security manager for a large financial institution. She has recently implemented a new access control system that utilizes multi-factor authentication for all employees to access sensitive data. One of her employees, Hanna, has reported that she is unable to access certain data that she should have access to. After investigating the issue, Louise discovered that Hanna's access privileges were inadvertently revoked by another employee. What is the most appropriate action to take in this situation?

  1. Reassign Hanna's access privileges to the appropriate level.
  2. Have Hanna go through the multi-factor authentication process again to verify her identity.
  3. Have Hanna go through the entire onboarding process again, including security training and background checks.
  4. Terminate Hanna's employment for security breaches.

The correct answer:
Reassign Hanna's access privileges to the appropriate level: This is the most reasonable and efficient solution. The issue at hand is that Hanna's access privileges were mistakenly revoked. The most direct way to resolve the problem is to reassign these privileges at the level that is appropriate for her role. This should allow Hanna to access the data she needs for his work. We might also want to investigate how it happened to see if we want to implement further checks to avoid this in the future.

The incorrect answers:
Have Hanna go through the multi-factor authentication process again to verify her identity: The issue isn't with Hanna's identity verification but rather with her access privileges. Re-doing the multi-factor authentication won't restore access to the resources she needs.
Have Hanna go through the entire onboarding process again, including security training and background checks. This approach is unnecessary and time-consuming. The issue doesn't stem from Hanna's actions or a lack of training. It's a mistake in the access control settings. Also, making an employee repeat the onboarding process because of a simple administrative error could lead to frustration and lower morale.
Terminate Hanna's employment for security breaches: This is inappropriate because Hanna didn't commit any security breaches. In fact, she reported the problem. Her access was revoked due to an internal administrative error, not because of her own actions. Taking such a drastic step as termination would not only be unjust, but it could also create a hostile environment where employees may be afraid to report problems in the future.
