Question # 2



An organization is considering a BYOD standard to support remote working. The first iteration of the solution will utilize only approved collaboration applications and the ability to move corporate data between those applications. The security team has concerns about the following:

Unstructured data being exfiltrated after an employee leaves the organization Data being exfiltrated as a result of compromised credentials Sensitive information in emails being exfiltrated Which of the following solutions should the security team implement to mitigate the risk of data loss?

A. Mobile device management, remote wipe, and data loss detection
B. Conditional access, DoH, and full disk encryption
C. Mobile application management, MFA, and DRM
D. Certificates, DLP, and geofencing



C.
  Mobile application management, MFA, and DRM

Explanation:

Mobile application management (MAM) is a solution that allows the organization to control and secure the approved collaboration applications and the data within them on personal devices. MAM can prevent unstructured data from being exfiltrated by restricting the ability to move, copy, or share data between applications. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a solution that requires the user to provide more than one piece of evidence to prove their identity when accessing corporate data. MFA can prevent data from being exfiltrated as a result of compromised credentials by adding an extra layer of security. Digital rights management (DRM) is a solution that protects the intellectual property rights of digital content by enforcing policies and permissions on how the content can be used, accessed, or distributed. DRM can prevent sensitive information in emails from being exfiltrated by encrypting the content and limiting the actions that can be performed on it, such as forwarding, printing, or copying.

Question # 3



An organization is implementing a new identity and access management architecture with the following objectives:

Supporting MFA against on-premises infrastructure

Improving the user experience by integrating with SaaS applications

Applying risk-based policies based on location

Performing just-in-time provisioning

Which of the following authentication protocols should the organization implement to support these requirements?

A. Kerberos and TACACS
B. SAML and RADIUS
C. OAuth and OpenID
D. OTP and 802.



C.
  OAuth and OpenID

Reference:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/manage-apps/migrateapplication-authentication-to-azure-active-directory OAuth and OpenID are two authentication protocols that can support the objectives of the organization. OAuth is a protocol that allows users to grant access to their resources on one site (or service) to another site (or service) without sharing their credentials. OpenID is a protocol that allows users to use an existing account to sign in to multiple websites without creating new passwords. Both protocols can support MFA, SaaS integration, riskbased policies, and just-in-time provisioning.

Question # 4



A security engineer estimates the company’s popular web application experiences 100 attempted breaches per day. In the past four years, the company’s data has been breached two times. Which of the following should the engineer report as the ARO for successful breaches?
A. 0.5
B. 8
C. 50
D. 36,500



A.
  0.5

Reference:

https://blog.netwrix.com/2020/07/24/annual-loss-expectancy-and-quantitativerisk-analysis/

The ARO (annualized rate of occurrence) for successful breaches is the number of times an event is expected to occur in a year. To calculate the ARO for successful breaches, the engineer can divide the number of breaches by the number of years. In this case, the company’s data has been breached two times in four years, so the ARO is 2 / 4 = 0.5. The other options are incorrect calculations.

Question # 5



A university issues badges through a homegrown identity management system to all staff and students. Each week during the summer, temporary summer school students arrive and need to be issued a badge to access minimal campus resources. The security team received a report from an outside auditor indicating the homegrown system is not consistent with best practices in the security field and leaves the institution vulnerable. Which of the following should the security team recommend FIRST?
A. Investigating a potential threat identified in logs related to the identity management system
B. Updating the identity management system to use discretionary access control
C. Beginning research on two-factor authentication to later introduce into the identity management system
D. Working with procurement and creating a requirements document to select a new IAM system/vendor



D.
  Working with procurement and creating a requirements document to select a new IAM system/vendor

Explanation:

This is because the homegrown identity management system is not consistent with best practices and leaves the institution vulnerable, which means it needs to be replaced with a more secure and reliable solution. A new IAM system/vendor should be able to provide features such as role-based access control, two-factor authentication, auditing, and compliance that can enhance the security and efficiency of the identity management process. A requirements document can help define the scope, objectives, and criteria for selecting a suitable IAM system/vendor that meets the needs of the institution.





Question # 6



A company publishes several APIs for customers and is required to use keys to segregate customer data sets. Which of the following would be BEST to use to store customer keys?
A. A trusted platform module
B. A hardware security module
C. A localized key store
D. A public key infrastructure



D.
  A public key infrastructure

Explanation:

A public key infrastructure (PKI) is a system of certificates and keys that can provide encryption and authentication for APIs (application programming interfaces). A PKI can be used to store customer keys for accessing APIs and segregating customer data sets. A trusted platform module (TPM) is a hardware device that provides cryptographic functions and key storage, but it is not suitable for storing customer keys for APIs. A hardware security module (HSM) is similar to a TPM, but it is used for storing keys for applications, not for APIs. A localized key store is a software component that stores keys locally, but it is not as secure or scalable as a PKI.

Question # 7



A business stores personal client data of individuals residing in the EU in order to process requests for mortgage loan approvals. Which of the following does the business’s IT manager need to consider?
A. The availability of personal data
B. The right to personal data erasure
C. The company’s annual revenue
D. The language of the web application



B.
  The right to personal data erasure

Reference:

https://gdpr.eu/right-to-beforgotten/#:~:text=Also%20known%20as%20the%20right,to%20delete%20their%20person al%20data.&text=The%20General%20Data%20Protection%20Regulation,collected%2C%2 0processed%2C%20and%20erased

The right to personal data erasure, also known as the right to be forgotten, is one of the requirements of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which applies to any business that stores personal data of individuals residing in the EU. This right allows individuals to request the deletion of their personal data from a business under certain circumstances. The availability of personal data, the company’s annual revenue, and the language of the web application are not relevant to the GDPR.

Question # 8



A company is implementing SSL inspection. During the next six months, multiple web applications that will be separated out with subdomains will be deployed. Which of the following will allow the inspection of the data without multiple certificate deployments?
A. Include all available cipher suites
B. Create a wildcard certificate.
C. Use a third-party CA.
D. Implement certificate pinning.



B.
  Create a wildcard certificate.

Explanation:

A wildcard certificate is a certificate that can be used for multiple subdomains of a domain, such as *.example.com. This would allow the inspection of the data without multiple certificate deployments, as one wildcard certificate can cover all the subdomains that will be separated out with subdomains. Including all available cipher suites may not help with inspecting the data without multiple certificate deployments, as cipher suites are used for negotiating encryption and authentication algorithms, not for verifying certificates. Using a third-party CA (certificate authority) may not help with inspecting the data without multiple certificate deployments, as a third-party CA is an entity that issues and validates certificates, not a type of certificate. Implementing certificate pinning may not help with inspecting the data without multiple certificate deployments, as certificate pinning is a technique that hardcodes the expected certificate or public key in the application code, not a type of certificate.

Question # 9



Clients are reporting slowness when attempting to access a series of load-balanced APIs that do not require authentication. The servers that host the APIs are showing heavy CPU utilization. No alerts are found on the WAFs sitting in front of the APIs. Which of the following should a security engineer recommend to BEST remedy the Pass Your Certification With Marks4sure Guarantee 19 performance issues in a timely manner?
A. Implement rate limiting on the API.
B. Implement geoblocking on the WAF.
C. Implement OAuth 2.0 on the API.
D. Implement input validation on the API.



A.
  Implement rate limiting on the API.

Explanation:

Rate limiting is a technique that can limit the number or frequency of requests that a client can make to an API (application programming interface) within a given time frame. This can help remedy the performance issues caused by high CPU utilization on the servers that host the APIs, as it can prevent excessive or abusive requests that could overload the servers. Implementing geoblocking on the WAF (web application firewall) may not help remedy the performance issues, as it could block legitimate requests based on geographic location, not on request rate. Implementing OAuth 2.0 on the API may not help remedy the performance issues, as OAuth 2.0 is a protocol for authorizing access to APIs, not for limiting requests. Implementing input validation on the API may not help remedy the performance issues, as input validation is a technique for preventing invalid or malicious input from reaching the API, not for limiting requests.

Question # 10



A company is looking to fortify its cybersecurity defenses and is focusing on its network infrastructure. The solution cannot affect the availability of the company’s services to ensure false positives do not drop legitimate traffic. Which of the following would satisfy the requirement?
A. NIDS
B. NIPS
C. WAF
D. Reverse proxy



A.
  NIDS

Reference:

https://subscription.packtpub.com/book/networking-andservers/9781782174905/5/ch05lvl1sec38/differentiating-between-nids-and-nips

https://owasp.org/www-community/controls/Intrusion_Detection

A NIDS (Network Intrusion Detection System) is a security solution that monitors network traffic for signs of malicious activity, such as attacks, intrusions, or policy violations. A NIDS does not affect the availability of the company’s services because it operates in passive mode, which means it does not block or modify traffic. Instead, it alerts the network administrator or other security tools when it detects an anomaly or threat.
