  Explanation

  The best method is to create an ISO file from the DVD and store it on a file server, allowing remote installations across multiple devices.

  Option B: Use an external USB DVD-ROM, Not practical for remote installations.

  Option C: Copy ISO to a USB flash drive, Requires physically transferring the USB to each laptop.

  Option D: Download an ISO from an unrelated website, Unsafe and violates security best practices.

• Question 204:

  A user calls the help desk and reports a workstation is infected with malicious software. Which of the following tools should the help desk technician use to remove the malicious software? (Choose two.)

  A. Local Network Connection
  B. User Account Control
  C. Windows Backup and Restore
  D. Windows Firewall
  E. Windows Defender
  F. Network Packet Analyzer
  E. Windows Defender
  F. Network Packet Analyzer

  ---

  Explanation

  E. Windows Defender: Windows Defender is a built-in antivirus and antimalware solution in Windows operating systems. It can scan the system for malicious software and attempt to remove or quarantine it.

  F. Network Packet Analyzer: A network packet analyzer, also known as a network sniffer or packet capture tool, allows the technician to capture and inspect network traffic. This tool can help identify any suspicious or malicious network activity that may be related to the infection.

  It's important to note that the other options (A. Local Network Connection,

  B. User Account Control,

  C. Windows Backup and Restore, and

  D. Windows Firewall) are not directly related to removing malicious software from a workstation. Instead, they pertain to network connectivity, security permissions, data backup and recovery, and network traffic filtering, respectively.

• Question 206:

  An organization is creating guidelines for the incorporation of generative Al solutions. In which of the following would these guidelines be published?

  A. Standard operating procedure
  B. Acceptable use policy
  C. Security protocols
  D. Data flow diagram
  B. Acceptable use policy

  ---

  Explanation

  An acceptable use policy (AUP) is a document that defines the rules and expectations for the users of a system, network, or service. It typically covers topics such as the purpose, scope, responsibilities, and restrictions of using the system, network, or service1. An AUP is a suitable place to publish the guidelines for the incorporation of generative AI solutions, as it can inform the users of the benefits, risks, and ethical implications of using such tools. It can also specify the conditions and limitations for using generative AI solutions, such as the types of data, content, and applications that are allowed or prohibited, the security and privacy requirements, the legal and regulatory compliance, and the accountability and reporting mechanisms23.

• Question 207:

  A technician wants to securely dispose of storage drives. Which of the following is the best way to eliminate data on SSDs?

  A. Degaussing
  B. Shredding
  C. Erasing
  D. Drilling
  B. Shredding

  ---

  Explanation

  For securely disposing of SSDs, physical destruction methods like shredding are considered most effective:

  Shredding: This method involves physically breaking the SSD into small pieces, making data recovery practically impossible. It's a recommended practice for ensuring that sensitive data on SSDs is irretrievably destroyed.

• Question 208:

  A technician is investigating options to secure a small office's wireless network. One requirement is to allow automatic log-ins to the network using certificates instead of passwords. Which of the following should the wireless solution have in order to support this feature?

  A. RADIUS
  B. AES
  C. EAP-EKE
  D. MFA
  A. RADIUS

  ---

  Explanation

  RADIUS is the correct answer for this question. RADIUS stands for Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service, and it is a protocol that provides centralized authentication, authorization, and accounting for wireless networks. RADIUS can support certificate-based authentication, which allows users to log in to the network automatically without entering passwords. RADIUS also provides other benefits, such as enforcing security policies, logging user activities, and managing network access. AES, EAP-EKE, and MFA are not wireless solutions, but rather encryption algorithms, authentication methods, and security factors, respectively.

It is a set of rules that employees must follow when using company resources. The AUP should be updated to include a policy on cryptocurrency mining on work desktops
