Question

Promoting campus network security is important for users as well as for the institution as a whole.

Select the benefits of promoting campus network security.

Options:

1. Protection of financial information
2. Protection of academic information
3. Increased personal safety
4. Faster transfer of information between departments
5. Increased social interaction with colleagues

Answer

This is a correct option. Effective campus network security can benefit you by making your personal financial information less vulnerable. This reduces your risk of being personally targeted by cybercriminals.

This is a correct option. A more secure campus network provides better protection for personal academic information, such as research contributions, assignments, and grades. It will also help protect your personal information, such as your Social Security number, payroll, and health records.

This is a correct option. Good campus network security can improve your personal safety by preventing personal information, such as your address or area of study, from falling into the hands of someone that could use that information to harm you.

This is an incorrect option. Improving network performance isn't one of the key aims of securing a network. Instead, campus network security is important because it protects information and end users' personal safety.

This is an incorrect option. You may use a campus network partly to stay in touch with colleagues, but contributing to the security of the network won't affect your level of social interaction. However, it may help protect you and others from cybercriminals.
