Which of these statements clearly depicts increasing sophistication in the security threat landscape?

Question

Options

• A65% of attacks evade existing security tools
• B66% of connected devices are mobile
• C28% of top security constraints are caused by product compatibility
• D25% of users spend their worktime off network

• A
  82% (32)
• B
  10% (4)
• C
  5% (2)
• D
  3% (1)

Explanation

Option A correctly identifies increasing threat sophistication because the ability of 65% of attacks to evade existing security tools directly measures how advanced and capable adversaries have become - it speaks to the evolving capability of threats outpacing defenses, which is the definition of a more sophisticated threat landscape.

Options B, C, and D describe environmental or operational statistics, not threat evolution: B reflects device proliferation trends, C points to internal IT/procurement challenges, and D describes user behavior patterns. None of these indicate that attackers themselves are becoming more advanced or harder to detect.

Memory tip: Look for the answer that describes what attackers are doing, not what organizations or users are experiencing. "Evading security tools" = attacker capability → sophistication. The other options describe the environment around security, not the threat itself.
