Which device is an endpoint?

  1. Smart light bulb
  2. Smart plug
  3. Display monitor
  4. Smart watch

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

A smartwatch is an endpoint because it connects directly to a network, processes data, and can be targeted or managed within an organization's security framework.



Which traffic characteristic is used by VLANs to segment traffic?

  1. Tag
  2. Protocol
  3. Identity
  4. MAC address

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

VLANs use tags - specifically IEEE 802.1Q tags - to identify and segment network traffic, allowing devices on different VLANs to remain logically separated even on the same physical network.



What is a function of least privilege in Identity and Access Management (IAM)?

  1. Providing temporary access to resources for all users
  2. Granting users permission to all resources in the network
  3. Ensuring network users have the same access level for simplicity
  4. Allowing users the minimum permissions necessary to perform their jobs

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The principle of least privilege ensures users are granted only the minimum permissions required to perform their specific job functions, reducing the risk of unauthorized access or misuse.



What is the purpose of an API?

  1. It allows operating systems to redesign themselves.
  2. It allows machine learning (LM) models to internally check datagrams.
  3. It allows hardware controls to be modified.
  4. It allows software applications to share data.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

An API (Application Programming Interface) enables software applications to communicate and share data or functionality with each other through defined methods and protocols.



Which statement describes both stateful firewalls and stateless firewalls?

  1. Stateful firewalls encrypt all traffic they inspect; stateless firewalls only pass through unencrypted traffic.
  2. Stateful firewalls are primary hardware appliances; stateless firewalls are exclusively software-based.
  3. Stateful firewalls only allow access to internal applications; stateless firewalls allow connections only to the internet.
  4. Stateful firewalls track and secure ongoing connections; stateless firewalls inspect each packet individually.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Stateful firewalls monitor and maintain the state of active network connections to make context-aware decisions, while stateless firewalls inspect each packet independently without regard to connection state.
