SCAZT User And Device Security Practice Question

A security engineer is worried about 'MFA fatigue' attacks. Which Duo configuration is the best defense?

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

Enabling Duo Push with Number Matching

Number matching requires the user to interact with the login screen, proving they are looking at the actual request.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • Disabling Duo Push and requiring phone calls only

    Why it's wrong here

    Phone calls are harder to manage but still susceptible to social engineering.

  • Increasing the MFA timeout to 60 seconds

    Why it's wrong here

    This actually increases the vulnerability window.

  • Enabling Duo Push with Number Matching

    Why this is correct

    This requires explicit input from the user.

  • Setting 'Remembered Devices' to 1 year

    Why it's wrong here

    This reduces security posture.
