Explanation

Collusion occurs when two or more individuals conspire to bypass controls and commit fraud or theft. Job rotation limits the time any single person is in a sensitive position, reducing the opportunity to build a long-term conspiracy. Separation of duties ensures no single person controls an entire process end-to-end, meaning multiple parties would need to collude to succeed-making fraud harder to execute without detection. Eavesdropping is a technical/physical threat addressed by encryption or physical security. Buffer overflow is a software vulnerability addressed by secure coding practices. Phishing is a social engineering attack addressed by user awareness training and email filtering.
