Answer / guest
Answer: D
IIntrusion is detected by the active monitoring and review
of unsuccessful logons. User ids and the granting of user
privileges defines a policy, not a control. Automatic logoff
is a method of preventing access on inactive terminals and
is not a detective control. Unsuccessful attempts to log on
is a method for preventing intrusion, not detecting.
