Assessing Corporate Cybersecurityintermediate
Select ALL measures identified for protecting financial records from tampering.
Answer
Access controls, Audit trails, Cryptographic checks
Explanation
### Why this is right
- **A** is correct: access controls limit who can make changes to records.
- **B** is correct: audit trails record activity and can help reveal suspicious changes.
- **C** is correct: cryptographic checks can help detect whether data has been altered.
### The concept
Financial-record tampering threatens the accuracy and trustworthiness of transactions and logs. Access controls reduce opportunities for unauthorized changes. An audit trail records actions so that activity can be reviewed. A cryptographic check can help identify a change by comparing a value derived from the data. These measures support integrity in different ways.
### The other options
- **D. Load balancing**: this distributes traffic across resources and is named as a way to help handle DDoS traffic; it does not directly protect financial records from tampering.
### Terms
- **Audit trail**: a record of actions or events that can be reviewed to understand what happened.
- **Cryptographic check**: a method using cryptographic processing to help detect changes to data.
### Remember
For tampering risks, think about who can edit, what actions are recorded, and how changes can be detected.
