• Question 491:

  Which of the following BEST describes when an organization utilizes a ready-to-use application from a cloud provider?

  A. laaS
  B. SaaS
  C. Paas
  D. XaaS
  B. SaaS

  ---

  The use of a ready-to-use application from a cloud provider is an example of using software as a service (SaaS). Software as a service (SaaS) is a type of cloud computing in which an organization uses a software application that is hosted and maintained by a third-party provider. The organization accesses the application over the internet, typically through a web browser, and does not need to install or maintain the software on their own servers or devices. SaaS, or software as a service, is on-demand access to ready-to-use, cloud- hosted application software. https://www.ibm.com/cloud/learn/iaas-paas-saas

• Question 492:

  You have just received some room and WiFi access control recommendations from a security consulting company. Click on each building to bring up available security controls. Please implement the following requirements:

  The Chief Executive Officer's (CEO) office had multiple redundant security measures installed on the door to the office. Remove unnecessary redundancies to deploy three-factor authentication, while retaining the expensive iris render.

  The Public Cafe has wireless available to customers. You need to secure the WAP with WPA and place a passphrase on the customer receipts.

  In the Data Center you need to include authentication from the "something you know" category and take advantage of the existing smartcard reader on the door.

  In the Help Desk Office, you need to require single factor authentication through the use of physical tokens given to guests by the receptionist.

  The PII Office has redundant security measures in place. You need to eliminate the redundancy while maintaining three-factor authentication and retaining the more expensive controls.

  

  Instructions: The original security controls for each office can be reset at any time by selecting the Reset button. Once you have met the above requirements for each office, select the Save button. When you have completed the entire simulation, please select the Done button to submit.

• Question 493:

  As part of a company's ongoing SOC maturation process, the company wants to implement a method to share cyberthreat intelligence data with outside security partners. Which of the following will the company MOST likely implement?

  As part of a company's ongoing SOC maturation process, the company wants to implement a method to share cyberthreat intelligence data with outside security partners. Which of the following will the company MOST likely implement?

  A. TAXII
  B. TLP
  C. TTP
  D. STIX
  C. TTP

  ---

  TTPs Within Cyber Threat Intelligence Tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) are the "patterns of activities or methods associated with a specific threat actor or group of threat actors." Analysis of TTPs aids in counterintelligence and security operations by describing how threat actors perform attacks. Top threats facing an organization should be given priority for TTP maturation. Smaller organizations may benefit strategically by outsourcing research and response. One acronym everyone working on a cybersecurity team should be familiar with is TTPs ?tactics, techniques and procedures ?but not everyone understands how to use them properly within a cyber threat intelligence solution. TTPs describe how threat actors (the bad guys) orchestrate, execute and manage their operations attacks. ("Tactics" is also sometimes called "tools" in the acronym.) Specifically, TTPs are defined as the "patterns of activities or methods associated with a specific threat actor or group of threat actors," according to the Definitive Guide to Cyber Threat Intelligence.

• Question 495:

  A systems administrator reports degraded performance on a virtual server. The administrator increases the virtual memory allocation, which improves conditions, but performance degrades again after a few days.

  The administrator runs an analysis tool and sees the following output:

  ==3214== timeAttend.exe analyzed

  ==3214== ERROR SUMMARY:

  ==3214== malloc/free: in use at exit: 4608 bytes in 18 blocks.

  ==3214== checked 82116 bytes

  ==3214== definitely lost: 4608 bytes in 18 blocks.

  The administrator terminates the timeAttend.exe, observes system performance over the next few days, and notices that the system performance does not degrade.

  Which of the following issues is MOST likely occurring?

  A. DLL injection
  B. API attack
  C. Buffer oveiflow
  D. Memory leak
  D. Memory leak

  ---

  Definitely memory leak ' key sentence' -> The administrator increases the virtual memory allocation, which improves conditions, but performance degrades again after a few days. Memory leak occurs when programmers create a memory in heap and forget to delete it. The consequences of memory leak is that it reduces the performance of the computer by reducing the amount of available memory. Eventually, in the worst case, too much of the available memory may become allocated and all or part of the system or device stops working correctly, the application fails, or the system slows down vastly .

• Question 496:

  An IT security team is concerned about the confidentiality of documents left unattended in MFPs. Which of the following should the security team do to mitigate the situation?

  A. Educate users about the importance of paper shredder devices.
  B. Deploy an authentication factor that requires in-person action before printing.
  C. Install a software client in every computer authorized to use the MFPs.
  D. Update the management software to utilize encryption.
  B. Deploy an authentication factor that requires in-person action before printing.

• Question 497:

  Which of the following controls would be the MOST cost-effective and time-efficient to deter intrusions at the perimeter of a restricted, remote military training area?(Select TWO).

  A. Barricades
  B. Thermal sensors
  C. Drones
  D. Signage
  E. Motion sensors
  F. Guards
  G. Bollards
  A. Barricades
  E. Motion sensors

• Question 498:

  Developers are writing code and merging it into shared repositories several times a day, where it is tested automatically. Which of the following concepts does this BEST represent?

  A. Functional testing
  B. Stored procedures
  C. Elasticity
  D. Continuous integration
  D. Continuous integration

  ---

  Continuous Integration is a software development practice where code changes are integrated into a shared code repository frequently, typically several times a day. Each integration triggers an automated build and testing process to detect integration issues and identify bugs or conflicts early in the development cycle. Continuous Integration aims to improve software quality, increase the speed of development, and reduce the risk of integration problems by automating the process of code integration and testing. It helps teams to catch and fix issues quickly, maintain a reliable codebase, and ensure that new code is continuously integrated into the existing codebase. Continuous Integration is a crucial aspect of modern software development methodologies, such as Agile and DevOps, which focus on iterative development and frequent releases of software updates. It enables teams to work collaboratively, deliver code changes more efficiently, and achieve faster and more reliable development cycles

• Question 499:

  A company is required to continue using legacy software to support a critical service. Which of the following BEST explains a risk of this practice?

  A. Default system configuration
  B. Unsecure protocols
  C. Lack of vendor support
  D. Weak encryption
  C. Lack of vendor support

  ---

  Lack of vendor support implies no security patches. Unsecure protocols are not necessarily always the case. Going with the most correct answer here would be C as I searche dthe definition of Legacy online and saw that it literall means "out of date" systems and I am reminded of the recent updates such as how phone companies say they wont support old phones made only 5 years ago (im shocked to think that so many resources go into making a device so short lived - what happened to long life products lol)

• Question 500:

  A user would like to install software and features that are not available with a mobile device's default software. Which of the following would all the user to install unauthorized software and enable new features?

  A. SQLi
  B. Cross-site scripting
  C. Jailbreaking
  D. Side loading
  C. Jailbreaking

  ---

  clear comparison between jailbreaking and sideloading with regard to certain features: 1. Removes software restrictions: 2. Jailbreaking: Yes 3. Sideloading: No 4. Can install unauthorized software: 5. Jailbreaking: Yes 6. Sideloading: No 7. Can be used to install apps from outside the official app store: 8. Jailbreaking: No 9. Sideloading: Yes This table helps illustrate the differences between these two methods more clearly. Jailbreaking is specific to platforms like iOS and involves removing software restrictions and installing unauthorized software, while sideloading is a more general term that can apply to various platforms and allows for the installation of apps from outside official app stores.
