Which of the following should the company consider to maximize risk reduction from vulnerabilities introduced by OpenSSL?  Include stable, long-term releases of third-party libraries instead of using newer versions.  Ensure the third-party library implements the TLS and disable weak ciphers.  Compile third-party libraries into the main code statically instead of using dynamic loading.  Implement an ongoing, third-party software and library review and regression testing. Implementing an ongoing, third-party software and library review and regression testing is the best way to maximize risk reduction from vulnerabilities introduced by OpenSSL. Third-party software and libraries are often used by developers to save time and resources, but they may also introduce security risks if they are not properly maintained and updated. By reviewing and testing the third-party software and library regularly, the company can ensure that they are using the latest and most secure version of OpenSSL, and that their proprietary software is compatible and functional with it.NEW QUESTION 236A user from the sales department opened a suspicious file attachment. The sales department then contacted the SOC to investigate a number of unresponsive systems, and the team successfully identified the file and the origin of the attack.Which of the following is t he NEXT step of the incident response plan?  Remediation  Containment  Response  Recovery Reference: https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/computer-science/containment-strategyNEW QUESTION 237A company based in the United States holds insurance details of EU citizens.Which of the following must be adhered to when processing EU citizens’ personal, private, and confidential data?  The principle of lawful, fair, and transparent processing  The right to be forgotten principle of personal data erasure requests  The non-repudiation and deniability principle  The principle of encryption, obfuscation, and data masking https://gdpr-info.eu/recitals/no-39/NEW QUESTION 238A home automation company just purchased and installed tools for its SOC to enable incident identification and response on software the company develops. The company would like to prioritize defenses against the following attack scenarios:Unauthorized insertions into application development environmentsAuthorized insiders making unauthorized changes to environment configurations Which of the following actions will enable the data feeds needed to detect these types of attacks on development environments? (Choose two.)  Perform static code analysis of committed code and generate summary reports.  Implement an XML gateway and monitor for policy violations.  Monitor dependency management tools and report on susceptible third-party libraries.  Install an IDS on the development subnet and passively monitor for vulnerable services.  Model user behavior and monitor for deviations from normal.  Continuously monitor code commits to repositories and generate summary logs. ExplanationModeling user behavior and monitoring for deviations from normal and continuously monitoring code commits to repositories and generating summary logs are actions that will enable the data feeds needed to detect unauthorized insertions into application development environments and authorized insiders making unauthorized changes to environment configurations. Modeling user behavior and monitoring for deviations from normal is a technique that uses baselines, analytics, machine learning, or other methods to establish normal patterns of user activity and identify anomalies or outliers that could indicate malicious or suspicious behavior. Modeling user behavior and monitoring for deviations from normal can help detect unauthorized insertions into application development environments, as it can alert on unusual or unauthorized access attempts, commands, actions, or transactions by users. Continuously monitoring code commits to repositories and generating summary logs is a technique that uses tools, scripts, automation, or other methods to track and record changes made to code repositories by developers, testers, reviewers, or other parties involved in the software development process. Continuously monitoring code commits to repositories and generating summary logs can help detect authorized insiders making unauthorized changes to environment configurations, as it can audit and verify the source, time, reason, and impact of code changes made by authorized users. Performing static code analysis of committed code and generate summary reports is not an action that will enable the data feeds needed to detect unauthorized insertions into application development environments and authorized insiders making unauthorized changes to environment configurations, but an action that will enable the data feeds needed to detect vulnerabilities, errors, bugs, or quality issues in committed code. Implementing an XML gateway and monitor for policy violations is not an action that will enable the data feeds needed to detect unauthorized insertions into application development environments and authorized insiders making unauthorized changes to environment configurations, but an action that will enable the data feeds needed to protect XML-based web services from threats or attacks by validating XML messages against predefined policies. Monitoring dependency management tools and report on susceptible third-party libraries is not an action that will enable the data feeds needed to detect unauthorized insertions into application development environments and authorized insiders making unauthorized changes to environment configurations, but an action that will enable the data feeds needed to identify outdated or vulnerable third-party libraries used in software development projects. Installing an IDS (intrusion detection system) on the development subnet and passively monitor for vulnerable services is not an action that will enable the data feeds needed to detect unauthorized insertions into application development environments and authorized insiders making unauthorized changesNEW QUESTION 239A product development team has submitted code snippets for review prior to release.INSTRUCTIONSAnalyze the code snippets, and then select one vulnerability, and one fix for each code snippet.Code Snippet 1Code Snippet 2Vulnerability 1:SQL injectionCross-site request forgeryServer-side request forgeryIndirect object referenceCross-site scriptingFix 1:Perform input sanitization of the userid field.Perform output encoding of queryResponse,Ensure usex:ia belongs to logged-in user.Inspect URLS and disallow arbitrary requests.Implement anti-forgery tokens.Vulnerability 21) Denial of service2) Command injection3) SQL injection4) Authorization bypass5) Credentials passed via GETFix 2A) Implement prepared statements and bindvariables.B) Remove the serve_forever instruction.C) Prevent the “authenticated” value from being overridden by a GET parameter.D) HTTP POST should be used for sensitive parameters.E) Perform input sanitization of the userid field. See the solution belowin explanationExplanation:Code Snippet 1Vulnerability 1: SQL injectionSQL injection is a type of attack that exploits a vulnerability in the code that interacts with a database. An attacker can inject malicious SQL commands into the input fields, such as username or password, and execute them on the database server. This can result in data theft, data corruption, or unauthorized access.Fix 1: Perform input sanitization of the userid field.Input sanitization is a technique that prevents SQL injection by validating and filtering the user input values before passing them to the database. The input sanitization should remove any special characters, such as quotes, semicolons, or dashes, that can alter the intended SQL query. Alternatively, the input sanitization can use a whitelist of allowed values and reject any other values.Code Snippet 2Vulnerability 2: Cross-site request forgeryCross-site request forgery (CSRF) is a type of attack that exploits a vulnerability in the code that handles web requests. An attacker can trick a user into sending a malicious web request to a server that performs an action on behalf of the user, such as changing their password, transferring funds, or deleting dat a. This can result in unauthorized actions, data loss, or account compromise.Fix 2: Implement anti-forgery tokens.Anti-forgery tokens are techniques that prevent CSRF by adding a unique and secret value to each web request that is generated by the server and verified by the server before performing the action. The anti-forgery token should be different for each user and each session, and should not be predictable or reusable by an attacker. This way, only legitimate web requests from the user’s browser can be accepted by the server.NEW QUESTION 240Which of the following BEST sets expectation between the security team and business units within an organization?  Risk assessment  Memorandum of understanding  Business impact analysis  Business partnership agreement  Services level agreement A service level agreement (SLA) is the best option to set expectations between the security team and business units within an organization. An SLA is a document that defines the scope, quality, roles, responsibilities, and metrics of a service provided by one party to another. An SLA can help align the security team’s objectives and activities with the business units’ needs and expectations, as well as establish accountability and communication channels.

The engineer plus another PC into the same port, and that PC gets an IP address in the correct range. The engineer then puts the employee’ PC on the wireless network and finds the PC still not get an IP address in the proper range. The PC is up to date on all software and antivirus definitions, and the IP address is not an APIPA address. Which of the following is MOST likely the problem?  The company is using 802.1x for VLAN assignment, and the user or computer is in the wrong group.  The DHCP server has a reservation for the PC’s MAC address for the wired interface.  The WiFi network is using WPA2 Enterprise, and the computer certificate has the wrong IP address in the SAN field.  The DHCP server is unavailable, so no IP address is being sent back to the PC. NEW QUESTION 242Due to adverse events, a medium-sized corporation suffered a major operational disruption that caused its servers to crash and experience a major power outage. Which of the following should be created to prevent this type of issue in the future?  SLA  BIA  BCM  BCP  RTO ExplanationA Business Continuity Plan (BCP) is a set of policies and procedures that outline how an organization should respond to and recover from disruptions [1]. It is designed to ensure that critical operations and services can be quickly restored and maintained, and should include steps to identify risks, develop plans to mitigate those risks, and detail the procedures to be followed in the event of a disruption.

The engineer has a choice between a single-tenant or a multitenant database architecture offered by a cloud vendor. Which of the following best describes the security benefits of the single-tenant option? (Select two).  Most cost-effective  Ease of backup and restoration  High degree of privacy  Low resilience to side-channel attacks  Full control and ability to customize  Increased geographic diversity Single-tenant architectures provide a dedicated environment for each client, which enhances data privacy since the resources are not shared with other tenants. This isolation minimizes the risk of data leakage or interference from other tenants, offering a high degree of privacy. Additionally, single-tenancy allows for full control over the database environment, including customization options tailored to specific security requirements or compliance needs, which is not always possible in a multi-tenant architecture.NEW QUESTION 247A city government’s IT director was notified by the city council that the following cybersecurity requirements must be met to be awarded a large federal grant:– Logs for all critical devices must be retained for 365 days to enable monitoring and threat hunting.– All privileged user access must be tightly controlled and tracked tomitigate compromised accounts.– Ransomware threats and zero-day vulnerabilities must be quicklyidentified.Which of the following technologies would BEST satisfy these requirements?
