Which of the following is of MOST concern in this scenario?

The government is concerned with remote military missions being negatively being impacted by the use of technology that may fail to protect operational security. To remediate this concern, a number of solutions have been implemented, including the following:
End-to-end encryption of all inbound and outbound communication, including personal email and chat sessions that allow soldiers to securely communicate with families. Layer 7 inspection and TCP/UDP port restriction, including firewall rules to only allow TCP port 80 and 443 and approved applications
A host-based whitelist of approved websites and applications that only allow mission-related tools and sites The use of satellite communication to include multiple proxy servers to scramble the source IP address
Which of the following is of MOST concern in this scenario?
A. Malicious actors intercepting inbound and outbound communication to determine the scope of the mission
B. Family members posting geotagged images on social media that were received via email from soldiers
C. The effect of communication latency that may negatively impact real-time communication with mission control
D. The use of centrally managed military network and computers by soldiers when communicating with external parties

  1. I would consider A…..With B the accessability to Faceslap is already restricted by the info given in the question…

    A host-based whitelist of approved websites and applications that only allow mission-related tools and sites

  2. B. Family members posting geotagged images on social media that were received via email from soldiers

    There is no control listed to mitigate this risk, what means this is the biggest concern here.

  3. It’s gotta be A. All of the measures taken deal with ensuring end to end transmissions are safe and keeping communication about the scope of the mission safe.

    If it were B, they would include scenarios where things like jpgs or other photo types being blocked, or limited somehow.

  4. I agree with B.
    Question states: “government is concerned with remote military missions being negatively being impacted by the use of technology that may fail to protect operational security.” OPSEC is overly emphasized in DoD and social media is specifically addressed as a major concern.

    I like C as well, but that goes to “Availability” and doesn’t correspond with the first concern given in the question.

  5. It’s pretty hard to intercept traffic going though multiple proxies, so A is not it. C could be, as going through multiple proxies will significantly create latency within the network.

  6. it’s B
    think about the question – and then look at B, if you geo tag images, location data is discoverable, hence compromising the soldiers – more concerning than rest of the options!!!
