20+ practice questions focused on Logical Security Concepts — one of the most tested topics on the CompTIA A+ Core 2 220-1202 exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation so you learn why the right answer is correct.
Start Logical Security Concepts PracticeA technician is setting up a new wireless network for a small office. They want to ensure that only company-issued devices can connect, and that data transmitted over the air is encrypted. Which combination of settings should they use?
Explanation: WPA2 or WPA3 with AES encryption provides strong wireless security. MAC address filtering can be added as an extra layer to restrict which devices can associate. This combination meets both requirements of encryption and device restriction.
A company's security policy mandates that all remote access connections must be authenticated using two different factors. A technician is configuring VPN access for teleworkers. Which combination meets this requirement?
Explanation: Multifactor authentication requires two or more factors from different categories: something you know (password), something you have (smart card, token), and something you are (biometric). A password plus a one-time code from a hardware token uses two distinct factors, satisfying the policy.
A user calls the help desk saying they cannot access a shared folder on the network. They can access other shares on the same server. The technician verifies the user's account is active and the folder exists. What should the technician check next to resolve the access issue?
Explanation: NTFS permissions control access at the folder level on the server. Even if share permissions allow access, restrictive NTFS permissions can block a specific user. The technician should check the effective permissions on that folder for the user.
A technician is configuring a new employee's laptop and needs to ensure that only approved applications can run. The company wants to prevent users from installing unauthorized software. Which security control should be implemented?
Explanation: Application whitelisting allows only pre-approved programs to execute, blocking all others by default. This is the most effective way to prevent unauthorized software installation. Software Restriction Policies or AppLocker in Windows can enforce this.
During a security audit, it is discovered that a former employee's user account is still active and has been used to log in remotely three times in the past month. Which logical security principle has been violated?
Explanation: The principle of least privilege requires that users have only the access necessary for their job. An inactive account with remote access violates this and also the principle of account lifecycle management. The immediate issue is that the account should have been disabled upon termination.
