NEW QUESTION # 135
Employees use their badges to track the number of hours they work. The badge readers cannot be upgraded due to facility constraints. The software for the badge readers uses a legacy platform and requires connectivity to the enterprise resource planning solution. Which of the following is the best to ensure the security of the badge readers?

  • A. Vulnerability scans
  • B. Segmentation
  • C. Anti-malware

Answer: B

Explanation:
Segmentation is the best option to ensure the security of legacy badge readers that cannot be upgraded. Segmentation isolates the legacy devices on a separate network segment to minimize their exposure to potential threats. This approach reduces the attack surface by preventing unauthorized access from other parts of the network while still allowing necessary connectivity to the enterprise resource planning (ERP) system.
Vulnerability scans (B) are useful for identifying weaknesses but do not actively protect the badge readers.
Anti-malware (C) is ineffective since the badge readers use a legacy platform that likely does not support modern endpoint protection solutions.

During initial activities, the consultant works with system engineers to identify antipatterns within the environment.
Which of the following is most critical for the engineers to disclose to the consultant during this phase?

  • A. Network and data flow diagrams covering the production environment
  • B. Results from the most recent software composition analysis
  • C. A listing of unpatchable IoT devices in use in the data center
  • D. Results from the most recent infrastructure access review
  • E. A current inventory of cloud resources and SaaS products in use

Answer: A

Explanation:
In the context of establishing a Security Operations Center (SOC) with a threat-modeling function, it's crucial to understand how data flows within the organization's systems.
Network and data flow diagrams provide a visual representation of the system's architecture, illustrating how data moves between components, which is essential for identifying potential security weaknesses and antipatterns. Antipatterns are common responses to recurring problems that are ineffective and risk-inducing. By analyzing these diagrams, the consultant can pinpoint areas where security controls may be lacking or misconfigured, thereby facilitating the development of effective threat models.
While other options like unpatchable IoT devices
(Option B) and inventories of cloud resources (Option E) are important for comprehensive security assessments, they are more pertinent during later stages, such as vulnerability management and asset inventory. The initial phase of threat modeling focuses on understanding the system's structure and data flows to identify potential threats, making network and data flow diagrams the most critical information at this stage.

NEW QUESTION # 137
A security analyst received a notification from a cloud service provider regarding an attack detected on a web server. The cloud service provider shared the following information about the attack:
- The attack came from inside the network.
- The attacking source IP was from the internal vulnerability scanners.
- The scanner is not configured to target the cloud servers.
Which of the following actions should the security analyst take first?

  • A. Configure the scan policy to avoid targeting an out-of-scope host
  • B. Set network behavior analysis rules
  • C. Create an allow list for the vulnerability scanner IPs m order to avoid false positives
  • D. Quarantine the scanner sensor to perform a forensic analysis

Answer: D

Explanation:
When a security analyst receives a notification about an attack that appears to originate from an internal vulnerability scanner, it suggests that the scanner itself might have been compromised.
This situation is critical because a compromised scanner can potentially conduct unauthorized scans, leak sensitive information, or execute malicious actions within the network. The appropriate first action involves containing the threat to prevent further damage and allow for a thorough investigation.
Containment and Isolation: Quarantining the scanner will immediately prevent it from continuing any malicious activity or scans. This containment is crucial to protect the rest of the network from potential harm.
Forensic Analysis: By isolating the scanner, a forensic analysis can be performed to understand how it was compromised, what actions it took, and what data or systems might have been affected. This analysis will provide valuable insights into the nature of the attack and help in taking appropriate remedial actions.
Preventing Further Attacks: If the scanner is allowed to continue operating, it might execute more unauthorized actions, leading to greater damage. Quarantine ensures that the threat is neutralized promptly.
Root Cause Identification: A forensic analysis can help identify vulnerabilities in the scanner's configuration, software, or underlying system that allowed the compromise. This information is essential for preventing future incidents.


NEW QUESTION # 138

Which of the following should me analyst cons<der when completing this basic?

  • A. If DAST code is being stored to a single code repository
  • B. If DAST scans are routinely scheduled
  • C. If developers are unable to promote to production
  • D. If role-based training is deployed
  • E. If role-based training is deployed: While important, training alone does not ensure continuous security assessment.

Answer: B

Explanation:
Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) is crucial for identifying and addressing security vulnerabilities during the software development life cycle (SDLC). Ensuring that DAST scans are routinely scheduled helps in maintaining a secure development process.
Why Routine DAST Scans?
Continuous Security Assessment: Regular DAST scans help in identifying vulnerabilities in real-time, ensuring they are addressed promptly.
Compliance: Routine scans ensure that the development process complies with security standards and regulations.
Proactive Threat Mitigation: Regular scans help in early detection and mitigation of potential security threats, reducing the risk of breaches.
Integration into SDLC: Ensures security is embedded within the development process, promoting a security-first approach.
Other options, while relevant, do not directly address the continuous assessment and proactive identification of threats:
A . If developers are unable to promote to production: This is more of an operational issue than a security assessment.
B . If DAST code is being stored to a single code repository: This concerns code management rather than security testing frequency.

NEW QUESTION # 139
An organization determines existing business continuity practices are inadequate to support critical internal process dependencies during a contingency event. A compliance analyst wants the Chief Information Officer (CIO) to identify the level of residual risk that is acceptable to guide remediation activities. Which of the following does the CIO need to clarify?

  • A. Appetite
  • B. Likelihood
  • C. Impact
  • D. Mitigation

Answer: A

Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed
Understanding Residual Risk:
Residual risk is the amount of risk remaining after controls and mitigations have been applied.
Risk appetite defines the level of risk an organization is willing to accept before taking additional actions.
Why Option D is Correct:
The CIO must clarify the organization's "Risk Appetite" to determine how much residual risk is acceptable.
If risk exceeds the appetite, additional security measures need to be implemented.
This aligns with ISO 31000 and NIST Risk Management Framework (RMF).
Why Other Options Are Incorrect:
A (Mitigation): Mitigation refers to reducing risk, but it doesn't define the acceptable level of residual risk.
B (Impact): Impact assessment measures potential damage, but it does not determine what is acceptable.
C (Likelihood): Likelihood is the probability of risk occurring, but not what level is acceptable.

NEW QUESTION # 140
Users must accept the terms presented in a captive petal when connecting to a guest network. Recently, users have reported that they are unable to access the Internet after joining the network A network engineer observes the following:
* Users should be redirected to the captive portal.
* The Motive portal runs Tl. S 1 2
* Newer browser versions encounter security errors that cannot be bypassed
* Certain websites cause unexpected re directs
Which of the following mow likely explains this behavior?

  • A. An attacker is redirecting supplicants to an evil twin WLAN.
  • B. The TLS ciphers supported by the captive portal ate deprecated
  • C. Employment of the HSTS setting is proliferating rapidly.
  • D. Allowed traffic rules are causing the NIPS to drop legitimate traffic

Answer: B

Explanation:
The most likely explanation for the issues encountered with the captive portal is that the TLS ciphers supported by the captive portal are deprecated. Here's why:
TLS Cipher Suites: Modern browsers are continuously updated to support the latest security standards and often drop support for deprecated and insecure cipher suites. If the captive portal uses outdated TLS ciphers, newer browsers may refuse to connect, causing security errors.
HSTS and Browser Security: Browsers with HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) enabled will not allow connections to sites with weak security configurations. Deprecated TLS ciphers would cause these browsers to block the connection.

You are tasked with integrating a new B2B client application with an existing OAuth workflow that must meet the following requirements:
. The application does not need to know the users' credentials.
. An approval interaction between the users and theHTTP service must be orchestrated.
. The application must have limited access to users' data.
INSTRUCTIONS
Use the drop-down menus to select the action items for the appropriate locations. All placeholders must be filled.

Answer:

Explanation:
See the solution below in Explanation
Explanation:
Select the Action Items for the Appropriate Locations:
Authorization Server:
Action Item: Grant access
The authorization server's role is to authenticate the user and then issue an authorization code or token that the client application can use to access resources. Granting access involves the server authenticating the resource owner and providing the necessary tokens for the client application.
Resource Server:
Action Item: Access issued tokens
The resource server is responsible for serving the resources requested by the client application. It must verify the issued tokens from the authorization server to ensure the client has the right permissions to access the requested data.
B2B Client Application:
Action Item: Authorize access to other applications
The B2B client application must handle the OAuth flow to authorize access on behalf of the user without requiring direct knowledge of the user's credentials. This includes obtaining authorization tokens from the authorization server and using them to request access to the resource server.
Detailed
OAuth 2.0 is designed to provide specific authorization flows for web applications, desktopapplications, mobile phones, and living room devices. The integration involves multiple steps and components, including:
Resource Owner (User):
The user owns the data and resources that are being accessed.
Client Application (B2B Client Application):
Requests access to the resources controlled by the resource owner but does not directly handle the user's credentials. Instead, it uses tokens obtained through the OAuth flow.
Authorization Server:
Handles the authentication of the resource owner and issues the access tokens to the client application upon successful authentication.
Resource Server:
Hosts the resources that the client application wants to access. It verifies the access tokens issued by the authorization server before granting access to the resources.
OAuth Workflow:
The resource owner accesses the client application.
The client application redirects the resource owner to the authorization server for authentication.
The authorization server authenticates the resource owner and asks for consent to grant access to the client application.
Upon consent, the authorization server issues an authorization code or token to the client application.
The client application uses the authorization code or token to request access to the resources from the resource server.
The resource server verifies the token with the authorization server and, if valid, grants access to the requested resources.
Reference:
CompTIA Security+ Study Guide: Provides comprehensive information on various authentication and authorization protocols, including OAuth.
