List of questions
Question 51
Which of the following threat types can occur when encryption is not properly applied or insecure transport mechanisms are used?
Sensitive data exposure occurs when information is not properly secured through encryption and secure transport mechanisms; it can quickly become an easy and broad method for attackers to compromise information. Web applications must enforce strong encryption and security controls on the application side, but secure methods of communications with browsers or other clients used to access the information are also required. Security misconfiguration occurs when applications and systems are not properly configured for security, often a result of misapplied or inadequate baselines. Insecure direct object references occur when code references aspects of the infrastructure, especially internal or private systems, and an attacker can use that knowledge to glean more information about the infrastructure. Unvalidated redirects and forwards occur when an application has functions to forward users to other sites, and these functions are not properly secured to validate the data and redirect requests, thus allowing spoofing for malware or phishing attacks.
Question 52
What is the best approach for dealing with services or utilities that are installed on a system but not needed to perform their desired function?
The best practice is to totally remove any unneeded services and utilities on a system to prevent any chance of compromise or use. If they are just disabled, it is possible for them to be inadvertently started again at any point, or another exploit could be used to start them again. Removing also negates the need to patch and maintain them going forward.
Question 53
Which of the following actions will NOT make data part of the "create" phase of the cloud data lifecycle?
Although the initial phase is called "create," it can also refer to modification. In essence, any time data is considered "new," it is in the create phase. This can come from data that is newly created, data that is imported into a system and is new to that system, or data that is already present and modified into a new form or value. Modifying the metadata does not change the actual data.
Question 54
What are the two protocols that TLS uses?
TLS uses the handshake protocol to establish and negotiate the TLS connection, and it uses the record protocol for the secure transmission of data.
Question 55
Which type of cloud model typically presents the most challenges to a cloud customer during the "destroy" phase of the cloud data lifecycle?
With many SaaS implementations, data is not isolated to a particular customer but rather is part of the overall application. When it comes to data destruction, a particular challenge is ensuring that all of a customer's data is completely destroyed while not impacting the data of other customers.
Question 56
Which of the following may unilaterally deem a cloud hosting model inappropriate for a system or application?
Some regulations may require specific security controls or certifications be used for hosting certain types of data or functions, and in some circumstances they may be requirements that are unable to be met by any cloud provider.
Question 57
Which of the following is considered an internal redundancy for a data center?
Power distribution units are internal to a data center and supply power to internal components such as racks, appliances, and cooling systems. As such, they are considered an internal redundancy.
Question 58
Which of the following represents a control on the maximum amount of resources that a single customer, virtual machine, or application can consume within a cloud environment?
Limits are put in place to enforce a maximum on the amount of memory or processing a cloud customer can use. This can be done either on a virtual machine or as a comprehensive whole for a customer, and is meant to ensure that enormous cloud resources cannot be allocated or consumed by a single host or customer to the detriment of other hosts and customers.
Question 59
Which of the following roles is responsible for peering with other cloud services and providers?
The inter-cloud provider is responsible for peering with other cloud services and providers, as well as overseeing and managing federations and federated services.
Question 60
Which of the following does NOT relate to the hiding of sensitive data from data sets?
Federation pertains to authenticating systems between different organizations.
