A global organization wants to manage all endpoint and user telemetry. The organization also needs to differentiate this data based on which office it is correlated to.
Which of the following strategies best aligns with this goal?

  1. Sensor placement
  2. Data labeling
  3. Continuous monitoring
  4. Centralized logging

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Data labeling allows the organization to tag telemetry data with attributes such as office location, enabling differentiation and correlation of data across global offices. This strategy is essential for managing and analyzing telemetry in a distributed environment.



A security architect must make sure that the least number of services as possible is exposed in order to limit an adversary's ability to access the systems.
Which of the following should the architect do first?

  1. Enforce Secure Boot.
  2. Perform attack surface reduction.
  3. Disable third-party integrations.
  4. Limit access to the systems.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Attack surface reduction is the most direct and foundational step to minimize the number of exposed services.
It involves identifying and disabling unnecessary services, ports, and applications to limit potential entry points for adversaries.



A security officer performs due diligence activities before implementing a third-party solution into the enterprise environment. The security officer needs evidence from the third party that a data subject access request handling process is in place.
Which of the following is the security officer most likely seeking to maintain compliance?

  1. Information security standards
  2. E-discovery requirements
  3. Privacy regulations
  4. Certification requirements
  5. Reporting frameworks

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Privacy regulations (such as GDPR or CCPA) require organizations to handle data subject access requests (DSARs), which allow individuals to access, correct, or delete their personal data. The security officer is ensuring the third party complies with these privacy obligations.



An administrator needs to craft a single certificate-signing request for a web-server certificate. The server should be able to use the following identities to mutually authenticate other resources over TLS:

www.int.comptia.org webserver01 .int.comptia.org

10.5.100.10

Which of the following certificate fields must be set properly to support this objective?

  1. Subject alternative name
  2. Organizational unit
  3. Extended key usage
  4. Certificate extension

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The Subject Alternative Name (SAN) field must be properly set to include all the required identities - FQDNs and IP addresses - so the certificate can be used for mutual TLS authentication with those specific identifiers.



A security analyst reviews the following event timeline from an EDR solution:



Which of the following has most likely occurred and needs to be fixed?

  1. The DLP has failed to block malicious exfiltration, and data tagging is not being utilized properly.
  2. A NIDS bypass was utilized by a threat actor, and updates must be installed by the administrator.
  3. A logic flaw has introduced a TOCTOU vulnerability and must be addressed by the vendor.
  4. A potential insider threat is being investigated and will be addressed by the senior management team.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The event timeline shows that hr-reporting.docx was executed and launched a script before the malware scan completed and detected it as malicious. This indicates a TOCTOU (Time-of-Check to Time-of-Use) vulnerability - where the file was checked after it was already used. This logic flaw needs to be fixed by the vendor to ensure scans complete before allowing execution.
