NEW QUESTION # 215
What concept does the "D" represent with the STRIDE threat model?
- A. Data loss
- B. Distributed
- C. Denial of service
- D. Data breach
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
Any application can be a possible target of denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. From the application side, the developers should minimize how many operations are performed for non-authenticated users. This will keep the application running as quickly as possible and using the least amount of system resources to help minimize the impact of any such attacks.
NEW QUESTION # 216
What type of identity system allows trust and verifications between the authentication systems of multiple organizations?

NEW QUESTION # 218
Which aspect of cloud computing makes data classification even more vital than in a traditional data center?
- A. Interoperability
- B. Virtualization
- C. Portability
- D. Multitenancy
Answer: D
Explanation:
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
With multiple tenants within the same hosting environment, any failure to properly classify data may lead to potential exposure to other customers and applications within the same environment.
NEW QUESTION # 219
The BIA can be used to provide information about all the following, except:
- A. Risk analysis
- B. Selection of security controls
- C. BC/DR planning
- D. Secure acquisition
Answer: D
Explanation:
Explanation
The business impact analysis gathers asset valuation information that is beneficial for risk analysis and selection of security controls (it helps avoid putting the ten-dollar lock on the five-dollar bicycle), and criticality information that helps in BC/DR planning by letting the organization understand which systems, data, and personnel are necessary to continuously maintain. However, it does not aid secure acquisition efforts, since the assets examined by the BIA have already been acquired.
NEW QUESTION # 220
Which aspect of cloud computing makes it very difficult to perform repeat audits over time to track changes and compliance?
- A. Dynamic optimization
- B. Virtualization
- C. Multitenancy
- D. Resource pooling
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation
Cloud environments will regularly change virtual machines as patching and versions are changed. Unlike a physical environment, there is little continuity from one period of time to another. It is very unlikely that the same virtual machines would be in use during a repeat audit.
NEW QUESTION # 221
The most pragmatic option for data disposal in the cloud is which of the following?
- A. Cold fusion
- B. Overwriting
- C. Cryptoshredding
- D. Melting
Answer: C
Explanation:
We don't have physical ownership, control, or even access to the devices holding the data, so physical destruction, including melting, is not an option. Overwriting is a possibility, but it is complicated by the difficulty of locating all the sectors and storage areas that might have contained our data, and by the likelihood that constant backups in the cloud increase the chance we'll miss something as it's being overwritten. Cryptoshredding is the only reasonable alternative. Cold fusion is a red herring.
NEW QUESTION # 222
Which regulatory system pertains to the protection of healthcare data?
- A. HAS
- B. HFCA
- C. HITECH
- D. HIPAA
Answer: D
Explanation:
Explanation
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) sets stringent requirements in the United States for the protection of healthcare records.

- B. Delineating biometric catalogs
- C. Preventing multifactor authentication
- D. Mapping to existing access control lists (ACLs)
Answer: D

- A. ISO 27002 certification criteria
- B. SAS 70 standard
- C. SSAE 16 standard

NEW QUESTION # 226
Who should be the only entity allowed to declare that an organization can return to normal following contingency or BCDR operations?
Response:
- A. Law enforcement
- B. Senior management
- C. Regulators
- D. The incident manager
Answer: B
NEW QUESTION # 227
The share phase of the cloud data lifecycle involves allowing data to leave the application, to be shared with external systems, services, or even other vendors/contractors.
What technology would be useful for protecting data at this point?
- A. IPS
- B. DLP
- C. IDS
- D. WAF
Answer: B
Explanation:
Data loss prevention (DLP) solutions allow for control of data outside of the application or original system. They can enforce granular control such as printing, copying, and being read by others, as well as forcing expiration of access. Intrusion detection system (IDS) and intrusion prevention system (IPS) solutions are used for detecting and blocking suspicious and malicious traffic, respectively, whereas a web application firewall (WAF) is used for enforcing security or other controls on web-based applications.
NEW QUESTION # 228
Which of the following is a possible negative aspect of bit-splitting?
Response:
- A. Users will have far greater difficulty understanding the implementation.
- B. Limited vendors make acquisition and support challenging.
- C. There may be cause for management concern that the technology will violate internal policy.
- D. It may require trust in additional third parties beyond the primary cloud service provider.
Answer: D
NEW QUESTION # 229
Which of the following could be used as a second component of multifactor authentication if a user has an RSA token?
- A. RFID
- B. Access card
- C. Retina scan
- D. USB thumb drive
Answer: C
Explanation:
A retina scan could be used in conjunction with an RSA token because it is a biometric factor, and thus a different type of factor. An access card, RFID, and USB thumb drive are all items in possession of a user, the same as an RSA token, and as such would not be appropriate.
NEW QUESTION # 230
All of the following are techniques to enhance the portability of cloud data, in order to minimize the potential of vendor lock-in except:
- A. Ensure favorable contract terms to support portability
- B. Avoid proprietary data formats
- C. Use DRM and DLP solutions widely throughout the cloud operation
- D. Ensure there are no physical limitations to moving
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
DRM and DLP are used for increased authentication/access control and egress monitoring, respectively, and would actually decrease portability instead of enhancing it.
NEW QUESTION # 231
Which of the following is considered an administrative control?
- A. Biometric authentication
- B. Access control process
- C. Door locks
- D. Keystroke logging
Answer: B
Explanation:
A process is an administrative control; sometimes, the process includes elements of other types of controls (in this case, the access control mechanism might be a technical control, or it might be a physical control), but the process itself is administrative. Keystroke logging is a technical control (or an attack, if done for malicious purposes, and not for auditing); door locks are a physical control; and biometric authentication is a technological control.
NEW QUESTION # 232
What does the management plane typically utilize to perform administrative functions on the hypervisors that it has access to?
- A. XML
- B. Scripts
- C. RDP
- D. APIs
Answer: D
Explanation:
Explanation
The functions of the management plane are typically exposed as a series of remote calls and function executions and as a set of APIs. These APIs are typically leveraged through either a client or a web portal, with the latter being the most common.
NEW QUESTION # 233
Which of the following is the primary purpose of an SOC 3 report?
- A. Seal of approval
- B. HIPAA compliance
- C. Compliance with PCI/DSS
- D. Absolute assurances
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation
The SOC 3 report is more of an attestation than a full evaluation of controls associated with a service provider.
NEW QUESTION # 234
What does the REST API use to protect data transmissions?
- A. Encapsulation
- B. TLS
- C. VPN
- D. NetBIOS
Answer: B
Explanation:
Representational State Transfer (REST) uses TLS for communication over secured channels.
Although REST also supports SSL, at this point SSL has been phased out due to vulnerabilities and has been replaced by TLS.
NEW QUESTION # 235
Why does the physical location of your data backup and/or BCDR failover environment matter?
- A. Environmental factors such as humidity
- B. It doesn't matter. Data can be saved anywhere without consequence
- C. Lack of physical security
- D. It may affect regulatory compliance
Answer: D
NEW QUESTION # 236

- A. Security control administration
- B. SIM, SEIM. and SEM logs
- C. DLP solution results
- D. Access to audit logs and performance data
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
While the provider might share any of the other options listed, the provider will not share administration of security controls with the customer. Security controls are the sole province of the provider.
