CompTIA Security+ study material · question 433 of 611

An organisation filters email thoroughly but has no controls on SMS or instant messaging. Why does the vector distinction matter?

  1. Because a control that filters one channel usually does not see the others
  2. Because instant messaging is not a threat vector
  3. Because SMS is inherently encrypted
  4. Because messaging attacks require a vulnerability
Show the answer

Answer: A. Because a control that filters one channel usually does not see the others

Message-based vectors span several channels, and coverage of one does not transfer to the rest.
