  Explanation

  When a technician is unable to connect to a laptop over a VPN, one of the most common reasons is that the firewall settings on either the laptop or the network are blocking the connection. Wireless protocol: Unrelated, as the technician is

  already connected to the VPN. DHCP pool: Unlikely to be the issue, as it deals with IP address assignment. Content filtering: Typically involves filtering web content, not affecting direct connections. Firewall: The correct setting to review, as it

  may block the necessary ports or services required for remote access.

• Question 437:

  A user clicked a link in an email, and now the cursor is moving around on its own. A technician notices that File Explorer is open and data is being copied from the local drive to an unknown cloud storage location. Which of the following should the technician do first?

  Explanation

  When a user's cursor is moving on its own and unauthorized data transfer is occurring, the first step a technician should take is to Quarantine the workstation. This involves isolating the affected system from the network to prevent the spread of malware or unauthorized access to other parts of the network. Quarantining helps in containing the threat and provides a safe environment to investigate and remediate the issue without risking further contamination or data loss.

• Question 438:

  A technician is trying to encrypt a single folder on a PC. Which of the following should the technician use to accomplish this task?

  A. FAT32
  B. exFAT
  C. BitLocker

• Question 439:

  A technician needs to recommend the best backup method that will mitigate ransomware attacks. Only a few files are regularly modified, however, storage space is a concern. Which of the following backup methods would BEST address these concerns?

  A. Full
  B. Differential
  C. Off-site
  D. Grandfather-father-son
  B. Differential

  ---

  Explanation

  The differential backup method would best address these concerns. Differential backups only back up files that have changed since the last full backup, which means that only a few files would be backed up each time. This would help to mitigate the risk of ransomware attacks, as only a few files would be affected if an attack occurred. Additionally, differential backups require less storage space than full backups.

• Question 440:

  A systems administrator is monitoring an unusual amount of network traffic from a kiosk machine and needs to investigate to determine the source of the traffic. Which of the following tools can the administrator use to view which processes on the kiosk machine are connecting to the internet?

  A. Resource Monitor
  B. Performance Monitor
  C. Command Prompt
  D. System Information
