A)Presence technology
B)Computer monitoring
C)Digital surveillance
D)Detection technology

Question 3

For monitoring the physical locations of employees,video cameras can be used,but another possibility is the use of ____.
A)proximity cards
B)presence technology
C)face recognition
D)video cards

Accepted Answer

Proximity cards can be used to track employee movement in and out of specific areas or buildings, without invading their privacy or constantly monitoring them. This method is less intrusive and more efficient than using video cameras or other forms of surveillance. Additionally, presence technology and face recognition may not be as accurate or reliable as proximity card systems. Video cards are not a viable option for monitoring physical locations of employees, as they are used for graphics processing in computers.

Question 4

Case 15-1
IBF Consultants,LLC provides consulting services in privacy and theft deterrence solutions.
-One of their clients has very sensitive data and they are less concerned about recovering any stolen computer than ensuring that the data located on the computer is not compromised.Which of the following technologies would be useful in this case?
A)kill switch hard drives
B)surge suppressors
C)DataDots
D)keylogging software

Accepted Answer

Kill switch hard drives can be helpful in this case as they allow for the remote data wiping in case of theft or loss of the computer. This would prevent any unauthorized access to the sensitive data. Surge suppressors and DataDots may not be directly related to data security, and keylogging software could even pose a threat to the privacy of the client's data if used maliciously.

Question 5

____ cameras are also increasingly being installed in schools in the United States and other countries to enable administrators to monitor both teacher and student activities.

They enable administrators to keep an eye on potential threats, prevent incidents of violence and bullying, and ensure that school policies and protocols are being followed. Computer monitoring and surveillance typically refer to monitoring computer or internet use, while multimedia surveillance may include monitoring audio recordings or other multimedia content. However, in the context of school monitoring, video surveillance is most commonly used.

-In order to lessen the chances of his main e-mail address getting spam,he uses a ____ e-mail address when shopping online.
A)kill switch
B)throw-away
C)permanent
D)keylogging

Accepted Answer

A throw-away email address is a temporary email address that can be used for a specific purpose and then discarded, reducing the chances of spam and protecting personal information. Kill-switch and keylogging are not related to email addresses, and a permanent email address would not offer the same level of protection against spam.

A)kill switches
B)surge suppressors
C)asset tags
D)keyloggers

Accepted Answer

Asset tags are the best choice for tracking and recovering stolen electronic devices. These tags contain unique identifiers that can be tracked by law enforcement agencies or recovery services, increasing the chances of locating and retrieving the stolen devices. Kill switches, surge suppressors, and keyloggers are not relevant to the goal of recovering stolen devices.

Question 16

____ programs can be used to detect and remove some types of illegal computer monitoring and spyware software.
A)Antivirus software

Antispyware software is specifically designed to detect and remove spyware and monitoring software that may be installed on a computer without the user's knowledge or consent. While antivirus software can also detect some forms of spyware, antispyware software is typically more effective at detecting and removing these types of threats. Antispoof software is unrelated to detecting monitoring or spyware, and antiphishing software is designed to protect against phishing attacks, not monitoring software.
