    • A network breach can occur via dictionary attacks, compromising user accounts after repeated attempts. Account lockout is the most effective mitigation strategy to prevent such breaches.

    • Among Wi-Fi protocols, WPA3 stands out as the most secure option, offering enhanced security features compared to WPA-AES, WEP, and WPA-TKIP.

    • When facing app crashes on Android, the first step in troubleshooting is to clear the application cache, ensuring access to critical information. Reinstalling the application may follow if the issue persists.

    • Increasing network utilization is a significant concern when upgrading CAD software that mandates cloud storage for backups. Large CAD files can lead to congestion and slow down overall network performance.

    • If an unfamiliar antivirus message appears on a computer, the technician's immediate action should be to investigate the interface and origin of the notification before taking further steps, ensuring the message's legitimacy.

    • For preparing a laptop for a new employee, a clean install of Windows 10 is recommended, erasing all data and providing a fresh operating system environment.

    • A change advisory board may deny a change request if the rollback plan is inadequate. Before resubmitting the request, it is critical to develop and update a comprehensive rollback plan to outline corrective actions if the change fails.
