What will cause an unusually high number of false positive alerts?

  1. Post-breach recovery plan is well defined.
  2. User privilege is configured to be strict.
  3. Device is unable to receive an IP address.
  4. Traffic match criteria is too generalized.

  1. Increased number of alerts
  2. Increased MTTR
  3. Increased efficiency
  4. Increased false positives

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Automation in a Security Operations Center (SOC) increases efficiency by streamlining repetitive tasks, accelerating incident response, and reducing manual workload for analysts.



Which feature defines a firewall as being next-generation?

  1. Application awareness
  2. Intrusion prevention
  3. Biometric security
  4. Static inspection

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Application awareness defines a next-generation firewall (NGFW), enabling it to identify, control, and inspect traffic based on specific applications rather than just ports or protocols.



What are two characteristics of data loss prevention (DLP)? (Choose two.)

  1. Traffic shaping
  2. Key logging
  3. File-level encryption
  4. Content-aware

Answer(s): C,D

Explanation:

File-level encryption protects sensitive data by securing files from unauthorized access.
Content-aware capability enables DLP to inspect and identify sensitive information based on its content to prevent unauthorized transmission.



What is a result of the Actions on the Objective phase in the cyber attack lifecycle?

  1. Host sweeps and port scans are performed.
  2. Outbound communication channels are established.
  3. Data is exfiltrated and web property is defaced.
  4. Exploits are launched against a vulnerable application.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

In the Actions on the Objective phase, attackers achieve their final goals, such as exfiltrating sensitive data, damaging systems, or defacing web properties to complete the attack mission.
