E. The device's encryption level cannot meet organizational standards.
F. The device is unable to receive authorized updates.
These two cases justify decommissioning a network device:
- Encryption Level: If a device's encryption level cannot meet the organization's standards, it poses a significant security risk and should be decommissioned.
- Authorized Updates: If a device is unable to receive authorized updates, it becomes vulnerable to known exploits and cannot be maintained securely, thus it should also be decommissioned.
Therefore, the correct answers are:
E. The device's encryption level cannot meet organizational standards.
F. The device is unable to receive authorized updates.
An engineer should recommend decommissioning a network device primarily when security risks are high, such as if the device's encryption level is insufficient for organization standards or if it cannot receive necessary security updates, or when it's no longer in active use.
B is not a good reason to justify decommissioning. Device is configured to use plaintext is bad configuration but instead of decommissioning device you can easily change the configuration and make sure it use encryption.
B. The device is configured to use cleartext passwords.
E. The device's encryption level cannot meet organizational standards.
These two options represent situations where the device poses a significant security risk:
Cleartext passwords: Devices with cleartext passwords are vulnerable to unauthorized access and data breaches.
Insufficient encryption: Devices that cannot meet organizational encryption standards may not be able to protect sensitive data adequately.
The other options do not necessarily warrant decommissioning:
When evaluating whether a network device should be decommissioned, security vulnerabilities, compliance with organizational standards, and the ability to maintain the device are critical considerations. Options E and F highlight situations where a device is not able to meet these essential requirements.
E. The device's encryption level cannot meet organizational standards and F. The device is unable to receive authorized updates are the correct reasons for recommending the decommissioning of a network device. These conditions indicate significant security and compliance risks that cannot be addressed through reconfiguration alone, necessitating the removal of the device to protect the organization's network and data.
• E. The device's encryption level cannot meet organizational standards.
• F. The device is unable to receive authorized updates
