A pentester is reviewing financial transactions and discovers that a single staff member rarely steps away from daily tasks. The team suggests requiring scheduled leave periods for each member. Which factor best explains why that recommendation can help detect hidden irregularities?
It shifts attention to external threats by moving staff off critical tasks for extended periods
It creates an opportunity for different individuals to perform repetitive processes and spot troubling activities
It improves morale by offering additional leisure options for personnel
It reduces daily responsibilities for staff and decreases time spent investigating internal issues
Scheduled leave periods ensure a rotation of responsibilities, which brings fresh oversight to processes that might mask unauthorized or questionable actions. When others assume those tasks, discrepancies can be spotted. Answers focused on purely morale or cost savings do not address the detection of unusual patterns that might be more apparent when the routine cycle is interrupted.
