Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Multifactor authentication (MFA)
Why this is correct
MFA adds an extra layer of security beyond passwords.
- ✗
Single sign-on (SSO)
Why it's wrong here
SSO improves convenience but does not inherently secure remote access.
- ✗
Password expiration every 90 days
Why it's wrong here
Password expiration is a general policy, not specific to remote access.
- ✓
Virtual private network (VPN)
Why this is correct
VPN encrypts traffic between remote users and the network.
- ✗
Guest network access
Why it's wrong here
Guest networks are for visitors, not remote employees.
