Question

why should you refrain from syncing your work browser with your personal browser or any personal accounts?

syncing decreases both the risk of sensitive work information being accidentally shared or exposed and the risk of your personal browsing activity being tracked by your work account.

syncing increases both the risk of sensitive work information being accidentally shared or exposed and the risk of your personal browsing activity being tracked by your work account.

syncing ensures that a cyber attacker will be able to decrypt any content using asymmetric encryption algorithms.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• The first option claims syncing decreases risks, but in reality, syncing work and personal browsers/accounts would mix work and personal data, increasing risks, so this is incorrect.
• The second option states syncing increases the risk of sensitive work info being exposed and personal browsing being tracked by work accounts. This makes sense because combining work and personal data through syncing can lead to accidental sharing of work info and work accounts potentially tracking personal activity.
• The third option is incorrect as syncing doesn't ensure a cyber attacker can decrypt content with asymmetric encryption (asymmetric encryption is secure and syncing isn't related to this in this way).

Answer:

B. Syncing increases both the risk of sensitive work information being accidentally shared or exposed and the risk of your personal browsing activity being tracked by your work account.
