Question #: 28
Topic #: 3
[All SY0-701 Questions]

An administrator at a small business notices an increase in support calls from employees who receive a blocked page message after trying to navigate to a spoofed website. Which of the following should the administrator do?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

In this scenario, employees are attempting to navigate to spoofed websites, which is being blocked by the web filter. To address this issue, the administrator should implement security awareness training. Training helps employees recognize phishing and other social engineering attacks, reducing the likelihood that they will attempt to access malicious websites in the future.

Deploying multifactor authentication (MFA) would strengthen authentication but does not directly address user behavior related to phishing websites.

Decreasing the level of the web filter would expose the organization to more threats.

Updating the acceptable use policy may clarify guidelines but is not as effective as hands-on training for improving user behavior.

Hmm, I'd say C. Gotta love those 'security awareness' sessions. Maybe we can get the boss to dress up as a hacker, that'd be hilarious!

B sounds tempting, but that's just asking for trouble. Let's stick with C - training the team is the way to go.

Decreasing the web filter settings? Really? That's just asking for trouble! I'd go with C - security awareness training is the way to keep everyone on their toes.
