Correct Answer is A
Explanation
A. Regularly run a penetration test. – Penetration tests identify system vulnerabilities that attackers could exploit, helping to strengthen system defenses against frequent attacks.
B. Require a two-factor authentication method when accessing protected health records. – Two-factor authentication is beneficial for security but doesn’t reduce the volume of attacks; it simply adds a layer of access protection.
C. Install software that can be used to wipe data from devices that go missing. – Wiping data from missing devices helps prevent data loss but doesn’t reduce attack frequency.
D. Implement timed computer screen locks. – Screen locks are helpful for local security but have no effect on external cyber attacks or the frequency of attempted attacks.
