FILL BLANK
Fill in the blank with the appropriate term.
A_____________ is a physical or logical subnetwork that contains and exposes external services of an organization to a larger network.

  1. demilitarized zone

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

A demilitarized zone (DMZ) is a physical or logical subnetwork that contains and exposes external services of an organization to a larger network, usually the Internet. The purpose of a DMZ is to add an additional layer of security to an organization's Local Area Network (LAN); an external attacker only has access to equipment in the DMZ, rather than the whole of the network. Hosts in the DMZ have limited connectivity to specific hosts in the internal network, though communication with other hosts in the DMZ and to the external network is allowed. This allows hosts in the DMZ to provide services to both the internal and external networks, while an intervening firewall controls the traffic between the DMZ servers and the internal network clients. In a DMZ configuration, most computers on the LAN run behind a firewall connected to a public network such as the Internet.



Which of the following statements are true about security risks? Each correct answer represents a complete solution. (Choose three.)

  1. They are considered an indicator of threats coupled with vulnerability.
  2. They can be removed completely by taking proper actions.
  3. They can be analyzed and measured by the risk analysis process.
  4. They can be mitigated by reviewing and taking responsible actions based on possible risks.

Answer(s): A,C,D

Explanation:

In information security, security risks are considered an indicator of threats coupled with vulnerability. In other words, security risk is a probabilistic function of a given threat agent exercising a particular vulnerability and the impact of that risk on the organization. Security risks can be mitigated by reviewing and taking responsible actions based on possible risks. These risks can be analyzed and measured by the risk analysis process.
Answer option B is incorrect. Security risks can never be removed completely but can be mitigated by taking proper actions.



Which of the following statements are TRUE about Demilitarized zone (DMZ)? Each correct answer represents a complete solution. Choose all that apply.

  1. The purpose of a DMZ is to add an additional layer of security to the Local Area Network of an organization.
  2. Hosts in the DMZ have full connectivity to specific hosts in the internal network.
  3. Demilitarized zone is a physical or logical sub-network that contains and exposes external services of an organization to a larger un-trusted network.
  4. In a DMZ configuration, most computers on the LAN run behind a firewall connected to a public network like the Internet.

It can be used for maintaining the registry of desktops and remote computers on the network. It offers a solution for backing up and restoring registries, fast background search and replace, adding descriptions to the registry keys, etc. This program is very attractive and easy to use, as it comes in an explorer-style interface. It can be used for Windows 2003/XP/2K/NT/ME/9x.
Reg.exe is a command-line utility that is used to edit the Windows registry. It has the ability to import, export, back up, and restore keys, as well as to compare, modify, and delete keys. It can perform almost all tasks that can be done using the Windows-based Regedit.exe tool.
