HOTSPOT

You are tasked with integrating a new B2B client application with an existing OAuth workflow that must meet the following requirements:

The application does not need to know the users' credentials.

An approval interaction between the users and the HTTP service must be orchestrated.

The application must have limited access to users' data.

INSTRUCTIONS

Use the drop-down menus to select the action items for the appropriate locations. All placeholders must be filled.

Hot Area:

  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:






Resource Server: Authorize access to other applications
The resource server verifies tokens and allows access to protected resources.

Authorization Server: Access issued tokens
This server issues access tokens after successful authentication and user consent.

B2B Client Application: Grant access
The client uses the token to request access to resources. In the OAuth flow, this is the step where access is granted via token.



SIMULATION

An IPSec solution is being deployed. The configuration files for both the VPN concentrator and the AAA server are shown in the diagram.

Complete the configuration files to meet the following requirements:

The EAP method must use mutual certificate-based authentication (with issued client certificates).

The IKEv2 cipher suite must be configured to the most secure authenticated mode of operation.

The secret must contain at least one uppercase character, one lowercase character, one numeric character,

and one special character, and it must meet a minimum length requirement of eight characters.

INSTRUCTIONS

Click on the AAA server and VPN concentrator to complete the configuration. Fill in the appropriate fields and make selections from the drop-down menus.

  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

VPN Concentrator
Proposal: aes256gcm128

Server IP: 10.1.0.10 (this is the AAA server)

Secret: Str0ng@Key (example that meets all character requirements)

AAA Server
Default EAP type: tls

IP Address: 10.1.2.1 (this is the VPN concentrator)

Secret: Str0ng@Key (must match the VPN concentrator)



SIMULATION

An incident occurred at Site A when an attacker successfully caused water pressure to increase in the pump room.

The organization is concerned about reoccurrence of this attack and that similar attacks might be successful on other cyber-physical systems within the network.

All devices and components reside on a flat network within the 10.1.0.0/16 space.

INSTRUCTIONS

Take the appropriate actions to reduce the risk of reoccurrence of this and other environmental security vulnerabilities.

Select the component(s) at Sites A and B that have environmental impact potential. Then, select the corrective action that will best reduce the risk of incident reoccurrence.

  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

At Site A:
SCADA master controller ­ Controls and monitors physical processes.

PLC (both) ­ Programmable Logic Controllers directly interface with pumps/valves.

Pumps ­ Direct environmental impact (increased water pressure in incident).

At Site B:
PLC ­ As above, interfaces with physical systems.

Pumps ­ As above, environmental impact through pressure, flow, etc.

Corrective Action ­ Isolate from the network
The devices reside on a flat network, increasing risk. Isolation (e.g., segmentation or VLANs) limits lateral movement and access to critical cyber-physical systems (CPS) like PLCs and pumps.



SIMULATION

During the course of normal SOC operations, three anomalous events occurred and were flagged as potential IoCs. Evidence for each of these potential IoCs is provided.

INSTRUCTIONS

Review each of the events and select the appropriate analysis and action options for each IoC.

  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

IoC 1
Indicators:
DNS queries for a suspicious subdomain (update.s.domain, *.s.domain)

Responses include odd CNAME and A records

Activity resembles contacting a malicious domain

Correct Selections:
Analysis: The service is attempting to resolve a malicious domain

Action: Implement a blocklist for known malicious ports

IoC 2
Indicators:
ICMP Echo (ping) requests from 10.0.5.5 to multiple hosts

All packets are dropped

Suggests a device is probing the network

Correct Selections:
Analysis: Someone is footprinting a network subnet

Action: Block ping requests across the WAN interface

IoC 3
Indicators:
BitTorrent traffic (/announce?info_hash, peer_id, application/x-bittorrent)

Indicates P2P protocol activity

Correct Selections:
Analysis: An employee is using P2P services to download files

Action: Enforce endpoint controls on third-party software installations



A security administrator needs to automate alerting. The server generates structured log files that need to be parsed to determine whether an alarm has been triggered. Given the following code function:



Which of the following is most likely the log input that the code will parse?




  1. <"error_log"><"system_1"></"InAlarmstate"="True"></"system_1"></"error_log">



  2. <"error_log": {"system_1": {"InAlarmState": True }}}

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The Python function uses json.load() to parse a structured log file in JSON format and directly accesses nested keys using dictionary syntax. Chosen option has valid JSON structure that matches this access pattern:
parsed_log["error_log"]["system_1"]["InAlarmState"].
