Question

Your organization has identified several accounts that do not have Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) enabled, using CrowdStrike's CIEM. Which of the following actions would be the most effective first step to mitigate the security risk associated with these accounts?

Options

  • AAssign "read-only" permissions to non-MFA accounts to limit their impact.
  • BSet up an alert system to monitor non-MFA accounts for unusual activity.
  • CUse CIEM to enforce MFA policies across all accounts.
  • DDisable all non-MFA accounts immediately to prevent unauthorized access.

Explanation

Option A: Restricting permissions to "read-only" does not address the core issue of MFA enforcement. These accounts remain vulnerable to unauthorized access, especially if they are Option B: Monitoring unusual activity is a reactive measure and does not mitigate the risk posed by non-MFA accounts. Proactively enforcing MFA policies is a better strategy for reducing Option C: Using CIEM to enforce MFA policies ensures a consistent and automated approach to improving account security. This method reduces the likelihood of human error and applies a scalable solution to protect all accounts, aligning with best practices for cloud identity Option D: While disabling non-MFA accounts might reduce risk temporarily, it can disrupt business operations. A more measured approach, such as enforcing MFA, is preferable to balance security and functionality.
