ITPEC IP April 2022 Question 42
ITPEC IP April 2022 — Question 42 of 100
A privacy screen protector helps prevent shoulder surfing by restricting the screen's visible viewing angle. The legitimate user facing the display can read it, while a nearby observer looking from the side sees a darkened or obscured image. This directly reduces visual theft of passwords and other sensitive information.
Answer (c)
Why not others:
- using the latest OS helps address software vulnerabilities but does not block observation of the display
- disabling GPS prevents location collection, not shoulder surfing
- a strap reduces dropping or physical theft but does not conceal screen contents
Key rule: Shoulder surfing is visual observation, so effective controls obstruct another person's view or shield sensitive input.
