A recent review of logs indicates many attempts to join an internal wireless network from external devices. The connections appear to be originating from surrounding buildings.
Which of the following would best help minimize the visibility of the wireless network?

  1. Mobile device management
  2. Pre-shared keys
  3. Heat maps
  4. Site survey

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Performing a wireless site survey lets you identify where your signal is spilling outside the building so you can adjust access point placement, transmit power, and antenna orientation to reduce coverage and thus visibility in surrounding areas.



Which of the following data protection strategies can be used to confirm file integrity?

  1. Masking
  2. Encryption
  3. Hashing
  4. Obfuscation

Answer(s): C

Hashing is used to confirm file integrity by generating a unique fixed-length value for the file; any change in the file alters the hash value, indicating integrity has been compromised.



An organization discovers that its cold site does not have enough storage and computers available.
Which of the following was most likely the cause of this failure?

  1. Capacity planning
  2. Load balancing
  3. Backups
  4. Platform diversity

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Capacity planning ensures that a disaster recovery site, such as a cold site, has sufficient resources like storage and computers. A failure in capacity planning likely led to the shortfall.



The security team notices that the Always On VPN solution sometimes fails to connect. This leaves remote users unprotected because they cannot connect to the on-premises web proxy.
Which of the following changes will best provide web protection in this scenario?

  1. Implement network access control.
  2. Configure the local gateway to point to the VPN.
  3. Create a public NAT to the on-premises proxy.
  4. Install a host-based content filtering solution.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Installing a host-based content filtering solution ensures web protection for remote users even when the VPN is down, as filtering and protection occur directly on the user's device regardless of connection to the corporate network.

  2. API
  3. SFTP

Explanation:

An API (Application Programming Interface) is the best option for automating tasks and enabling seamless data sharing between different programs, allowing for programmatic interaction and automation.
