What is one of the advantages of using both symmetric and asymmetric cryptography in SSL/TLS?

Supporting both types of algorithms allows less-powerful devices such as mobile phones to use symmetric encryption instead.

Symmetric algorithms such as AES provide a failsafe when asymmetric methods fail.

Asymmetric cryptography is computationally expensive in comparison. However, it is well-suited to securely negotiate keys for use with symmetric cryptography.

Symmetric encryption allows the server to securely transmit the session keys out-of-band.

Supporting both types of algorithms allows less-powerful devices such as mobile phones to use symmetric encryption instead.

When a security analyst prepares for the formal security assessment - what of the following should be done in order to determine inconsistencies in the secure assets database and verify that system is compliant to the minimum security baseline?

Data items and vulnerability scanning

Interviewing employees and network engineers

Reviewing the firewalls configuration

Why containers are less secure that virtual machines?

Host OS on containers has a larger surface attack.

Containers may full fill disk space of the host.

A compromise container may cause a CPU starvation of the host.

Containers are attached to the same virtual network.

In the field of cryptanalysis, what is meant by a "rubber-hose" attack?

Extraction of cryptographic secrets through coercion or torture.

Attempting to decrypt cipher text by making logical assumptions about the contents of the original plain text.

Extraction of cryptographic secrets through coercion or torture.

Forcing the targeted key stream through a hardware-accelerated device such as an ASIC.

A backdoor placed into a cryptographic algorithm by its creator.

Which of the following steps for risk assessment methodology refers to vulnerability identification?

Determines risk probability that vulnerability will be exploited (High. Medium, Low)

Determines if any flaws exist in systems, policies, or procedures

Assigns values to risk probabilities; Impact values.

Determines risk probability that vulnerability will be exploited (High. Medium, Low)

Identifies sources of harm to an IT system. (Natural, Human. Environmental)

The network team has well-established procedures to follow for creating new rules on the firewall.This includes having approval from a manager prior to implementing any new rules. While reviewing the firewall configuration, you notice a recently implemented rule but cannot locate manager approval for it. What would be a good step to have in the procedures for a situation like this?

Immediately roll back the firewall rule until a manager can approve it

Have the network team document the reason why the rule was implemented without prior manager approval.

Monitor all traffic using the firewall rule until a manager can approve it.

Do not roll back the firewall rule as the business may be relying upon it, but try to get manager approval as soon as possible.

Immediately roll back the firewall rule until a manager can approve it
