Question 91

At which layer of the OSI model are routing protocols defined?
Explanation:
Routing protocols are defined at the network layer (Layer 3) of the OSI model. The network layer is responsible for routing packets across different networks using logical addresses (IP addresses). Routing protocols are used to exchange routing information between routers and to determine the best path for data delivery. Some examples of routing protocols are BGP, OSPF, RIP, and EIGRP. Palo Alto Networks devices support advanced routing features using the Advanced Routing Engine1.

Question 92

Organizations that transmit, process, or store payment-card information must comply with what standard?
Explanation:
PCI DSS stands for Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, which is a set of requirements intended to ensure that all companies that process, store, or transmit credit card information maintain a secure environment1. The standard is administered by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council, and its use is mandated by the major card brands2. PCI DSS covers 12 requirements for compliance, organized into six control objectives, such as building and maintaining a secure network and systems, protecting cardholder data, and implementing strong access control measures3.

Question 93

DRAG DROP
Match the DNS record type to its function within DNS.
Explanation:
The basic DNS record types are as follows:
• A (IPv4) or AAAA (IPv6) (Address): Maps a domain or subdomain to an IP address or multiple IP addresses • CNAME (Canonical Name): Maps a domain or subdomain to another hostname • MX (Mail Exchanger): Specifies the hostname or hostnames of email servers for a domain • PTR (Pointer): Points to a CNAME; commonly used for reverse DNS lookups that map an IP address to a host in a domain or subdomain • SOA (Start of Authority): Specifies authoritative information about a DNS zone such as primary name server, email address of the domain administrator, and domain serial number • NS (Name Server): The NS record specifies aan authoritative name server for a given host.
• TXT (Text): Stores text-based information
Question 94

DRAG DROP
Match the Palo Alto Networks WildFire analysis verdict with its definition.
Explanation:
• Benign: Safe and does not exhibit malicious behavior
• Grayware: No security risk but might display obtrusive behavior (for example, adware, spyware, and browser helper objects) • Malware: Malicious in nature and intent and can pose a security threat (for example, viruses, worms, trojans, root kits, botnets, and remote-access toolkits) • Phishing: Malicious attempt to trick the recipient into revealing sensitive data
Question 95

Question 98

In the attached network diagram, which device is the switch?
Explanation:
A switch is a network device that connects multiple devices on a local area network (LAN) and forwards data packets between them. A switch can be identified by its icon, which is a rectangle with four curved lines on each side. In the attached network diagram, device D is the switch, as it matches the icon and connects three computers to device A, which is another network device.Reference:

Question 99

In SecOps, what are two of the components included in the identify stage? (Choose two.)
Explanation:
In SecOps, the identify stage is the first step in the security operations lifecycle.It involves gaining knowledge and understanding of the possible security threats and establishing methods to detect, respond and proactively prevent them from occurring1. Two of the components included in the identify stage are:
Initial Research: This component involves gathering information about the organization's assets, vulnerabilities, risks, and compliance requirements.It also involves identifying the key stakeholders, objectives, and metrics for the SecOps project2.
Content Engineering: This component involves developing and maintaining the security content, such as rules, policies, signatures, and alerts, that will be used by the SecOps tools and processes.It also involves testing and validating the security content for accuracy and effectiveness3.
