Question

A system administrator has a responsibility to maintain the security of the video teleconferencing system. During a self-audit of the video teleconferencing room, the administrator notices that speakers and microphones are hard-wired and wireless enabled. Which of the following security concerns should the system administrator have about the existing technology in the room?

Options

  • AWired transmissions could be intercepted by remote users.
  • BBluetooth speakers could cause RF emanation concerns.
  • CBluetooth is an unsecure communication channel.
  • DWireless transmission causes interference with the video signal.

Explanation

C (Bluetooth is an unsecure communication channel) is the correct concern. The critical detail is that the devices are wireless-enabled, meaning they likely use Bluetooth. Bluetooth has well-documented vulnerabilities - including BlueSnarfing, BlueJacking, and Bluebugging - that could allow an unauthorized nearby party to pair with or intercept audio from a conference room microphone, potentially capturing sensitive business discussions. This is a serious confidentiality risk. Option A is incorrect because wired transmissions are much harder to intercept remotely. Option B is partially true (RF emanations are a concern) but Bluetooth speakers producing RF emanations is a less specific and less critical concern than the insecure channel itself. Option D is a technical distraction with no meaningful security implication.
