PCCET Question #163: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

Which application types are not provided by IT but are allowed with restrictions because of their business benefits?

Options

• AUnsanctioned
• BMonitored
• CTolerated
• DSanctioned

Explanation

Tolerated applications are those not officially provided or fully supported by IT but are permitted for use with restrictions due to their perceived business benefits.

Common mistakes.

• A. Unsanctioned applications are typically used without IT approval and are often considered high-risk, usually blocked or actively discouraged due to security and compliance concerns.
• B. Monitored is an action taken by IT to observe application usage or behavior, rather than a classification of an application's allowance status itself.
• D. Sanctioned applications are fully approved, supported, and often provisioned by IT, meaning they align with organizational policies and do not carry the connotation of being allowed 'with restrictions because of their business benefits'.
