ISC2 CISSP Practice Question

A security engineer is reviewing web application login telemetry after a series of credential-stuffing incidents. Management wants to minimize the chance that automated tools can rapidly guess user passwords while still limiting user frustration when typos occur. Which password-policy control would BEST slow an online brute-force attack in this environment?

  • Implementing credential lockout mechanisms with increasing delays between attempts

  • Monitoring failed login attempts in system logs

  • Requiring password changes every 90 days

  • Enforcing password complexity requirements with minimum length and special characters
