Question 216 should be B. Reasoning: Input sanitization is the process of validating and cleaning user-provided input so it can’t be used to execute malicious commands, inject SQL, or exploit vulnerabilities. An input like nmap - 10.11.1.130 could be part of a command injection attempt — if an application passes unsanitized input to a shell or system command, an attacker could run nmap (or worse). Sanitization would prevent this. Why not the others? Email message: "Click this link…" ? This is phishing; mitigated by user training, email filtering, and link scanning, not input sanitization. Browser message: "Your connection is not private." ? This is an SSL/TLS certificate warning; mitigated by proper certificate configuration, not input sanitization. Input sanitization is all about preventing malicious or unexpected data from being processed by your application — perfect for the nmap example.

337 The most relevant reason a Data Protection Officer (DPO) would develop a data inventory is: ? B. To determine the impact in the event of a breach Why? A data inventory (or data mapping) is a core requirement under GDPR and other privacy regulations. Its primary purpose is to: Track what personal data is stored, where it resides, how it flows, and who accesses it. Enable breach impact assessments by identifying: Which datasets were compromised. Whose data was affected (e.g., customers, employees). Legal/regulatory risks (e.g., fines for exposing sensitive data). Why Not the Other Options? A. Manage storage requirements ? Secondary benefit, but not the DPO’s primary concern. C. Extend data retention ? Inventory helps enforce (not extend) retention policies. D. Automate deduplication ? IT efficiency goal, not a DPO’s legal/compliance driver. GDPR Compliance Link Article 30 mandates records of processing activities (data inventories) to demonstrate accountability and assess b

Q 151: B doesn't make sense to me as an access badge can be lost/stolen. Wouldn't vid surveillance be a better solution? unless "secure" is the key word here. vid surveillance then doesn't "secure" anything it is more of a deter/monitor solution.... I guess I answered my own question...

208:Based on the scenario described—where an application server's software is behaving abnormally by generating unexpected outbound traffic over random high ports—the most likely exploited vulnerability is: Memory Injection (e.g., Buffer Overflow or Code Injection) Why? Abnormal process behavior (unexpected network traffic) suggests execution of malicious code injected into the software’s memory. Random high ports are commonly used by malware for command-and-control (C2) communication or data exfiltration. Memory-based attacks (e.g., buffer overflows, ROP attacks) can hijack a legitimate process to execute attacker-controlled payloads. Why Not the Others? Race Condition Causes timing-related exploits (e.g., TOCTOU attacks) but does not typically generate network traffic. Would lead to logic errors, not outbound connections. Side Loading Involves loading malicious DLLs/libraries, but this usually happens at startup, not mid-execution. More common in Windows environments (e.g.,

194: To ensure the organization follows security best practices when transitioning an on-premises application to a cloud-based service, the security team should implement all of the listed controls, as they address different critical aspects of cloud security. However, if prioritizing the most fundamental requirement for a secure cloud deployment, the team should first ensure: 1. Virtualization and Isolation of Resources Why? Cloud environments rely on multi-tenancy, so virtualization and isolation prevent cross-tenant attacks (e.g., VM escapes, side-channel attacks). Best Practice: Use hypervisor security, container isolation, and micro-segmentation to enforce strict boundaries between workloads. Supporting Controls (Also Critical but Secondary to Core Isolation): 2. Network Segmentation Limits lateral movement if a breach occurs (e.g., separating frontend/backend tiers). However, isolation at the virtualization layer is more foundational in cloud environments. 3. Data Encryption

To mitigate the risk of sensitive data exfiltration after a data classification initiative, the most effective solution among the given options is: DLP (Data Loss Prevention) Why DLP? DLP solutions are specifically designed to detect and prevent unauthorized transfers or exfiltration of sensitive data. They can monitor, classify, and block sensitive data (e.g., PII, financial records, intellectual property) from being emailed, uploaded, or copied outside the organization. DLP enforces policies based on data classification, ensuring compliance with regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, or PCI DSS. Other Options (Less Relevant for Data Exfiltration Mitigation): XDR (Extended Detection and Response) – Focuses on threat detection and response, not necessarily preventing data exfiltration directly. SPF (Sender Policy Framework) – Helps prevent email spoofing but does not stop data leaks. DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance) – Improves email authentication but d

Question 76, the PBQ, lists the answer as virus. ChatGPT lists the answer as a worm. Self-replicating is wormish (think tapeworm vibes). "Well known credentials" signals compromised passwords. I'd select change default system password (though maybe app is more appropriate?).

Passed yesterday with score of 773. this dump is roughly 50% valid for unpaid version. I got 3 PBQ which are host infections and autoscaling and one new i have not seen before. Question: Recent system breach due to password, choose the best password practices and what mitigation will prevent it from happening again? Password protection standard: Reuse, Complexity, Length, Expiration, Age (you can choose any possible combination, no limit) Answer: Reuse, Expiration, length (as per comptia, age and complexity are not best password practices) Mitigation: FIDO Hardware, PIN, Password, SMS OTP Answer: FIDO Hardware I came across one youtube channel a few days before my exams. He thoroughly explains every PBQs. All his questions are literally form dumps. I HIGHLY recommend to check it out. https://www.youtube.com/@MohammadLotfiA
