List of questions
Question 171

Which of the following service capabilities gives the cloud customer the least amount of control over configurations and deployments?
The software service capability gives the cloud customer a fully established application, where only minimal user configuration options are allowed.
Question 172

Question 173

What does the REST API use to protect data transmissions?
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 Although REST also supports SSL, at this point SSL has been phased out due to vulnerabilities and has been replaced by TLS.
Question 174

What strategy involves replacing sensitive data with opaque values, usually with a means of mapping it back to the original value?
Tokenization is the practice of utilizing a random and opaque "token" value in data to replace what otherwise would be a sensitive or protected data object. The token value is usually generated by the application with a means to map it back to the actual real value, and then the token value is placed in the data set with the same formatting and requirements of the actual real value so that the application can continue to function without different modifications or code changes.
Question 175

With software-defined networking, what aspect of networking is abstracted from the forwarding of traffic?
With software-defined networking (SDN), the filtering of network traffic is separated from the forwarding of network traffic so that it can be independently administered.
Question 176

Which of the following does NOT fall under the "IT" aspect of quality of service (QoS)?
KPIs fall under the "business" aspect of QoS, along with monitoring and measuring of events and business processes. Services, security, and applications are all core components and concepts of the "IT" aspect of QoS.
Question 177

What does dynamic application security testing (DAST) NOT entail?
Dynamic application security testing (DAST) is considered "black box" testing and begins with no inside knowledge of the application or its configurations.
Everything about the application must be discovered during the testing.
Question 178

Where is an XML firewall most commonly deployed in the environment?
XML firewalls are most commonly deployed in line between the firewall and application server to validate XML code before it reaches the application.
Question 179

What type of masking strategy involves replacing data on a system while it passes between the data and application layers?
With dynamic masking, production environments are protected with the masking process being implemented between the application and data layers of the application. This allows for a masking translation to take place live in the system and during normal application processing of data.
Question 180

Which of the following is a widely used tool for code development, branching, and collaboration?
GitHub is an open source tool that developers leverage for code collaboration, branching, and versioning.
