               Question 173 should be D
Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) is preferred for securing communications with limited computing resources because it provides strong security with smaller key sizes, which leads to faster computations and lower power consumption

               Tenho uma critica a fazer desse item 268, Perguntas de segurança e uma senha única enviada por e-mail
Perguntas de segurança = algo que você sabe
Senha única por e-mail = algo que você tem (acesso ao e-mail)
- Falta algo que você é (biometria) - Não atende aos três fatores.
Eu marquei a C) Verificação de voz e impressão digital com uma senha única por SMS. É a unica opção que implementa os três fatores("sabe", "tem", "é") sem exigir compra de hardware ou aplicativos externos, aproveitando recursos já existentes no dispositivo móvel (biometria e SMS)

               Guys,
Learning and preparing for this exam is not easy. The exam itself is very hard. These exam questions and answers are great. I passed this exam using these "practice questions and answers" wink wink. They are all similar to exam.  
This site gives access to 50% of the questions. The paid version has way more questions. I ended up buying the full version and use the 50% discount sale promotion.  Got 2 exam for the price of one.

               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

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....

               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

               While studying through this, how recent or relevant are the questions? Does it update with the changes of the current exam? Thanks!

               176 should be segmentation. Hashing doesn't make sense for the answer.

               @Ola,
Yes, I can tell you that almost all of these questions are word by word from the real exam. I wrote mine last week and saw almost 90% of these questions in my test.
