Question 91

A company is adopting microservice architecture in order to quickly remediate vulnerabilities and deploy to production. All of the microservices run on the same Linux platform. Significant time was spent updating the base OS before deploying code. Which of the following should the company do to make the process efficient?

  1. Use Terraform scripts while creating golden images.
  2. Create a cron job to run apt-update every 30 days.
  3. Use snapshots to deploy code to existing compute instances.
  4. Deploy a centralized update server.

Question 92

During a gap assessment, an organization notes that BYOD usage is a significant risk. The organization implemented administrative policies prohibiting BYOD usage. However, the organization has not implemented technical controls to prevent the unauthorized use of BYOD assets when accessing the organization's resources. Which of the following solutions should the organization implement to best reduce the risk of BYOD devices? (Choose two.)

  1. Cloud IAM, to enforce the use of token-based MFA
  2. Conditional access, to enforce user-to-device binding
  3. NAC, to enforce device configuration requirements
  4. PAM, to enforce local password policies
  5. SD-WAN, to enforce web content filtering through external proxies
  6. DLP, to enforce data protection capabilities

Question 93

An organization has several systems deployed in a public cloud and wants to confirm that when data retention periods are reached, the data is properly disposed of. Which of the following best meets the organization's needs?

  1. Double encrypting the data using both asymmetric and symmetric keys managed by the cloud service provider
  2. Utilizing a data-wiping software to overwrite the existing data
  3. Encrypting the data with customer-managed keys and then deleting both the encryption key and the volume
  4. Asking the cloud provider for copies of certificates of destruction

Question 94

A security engineer reviews an after-action report from a previous security breach and notes a long lag time between detection and containment of a compromised account. The engineer suggests using SOAR to address this concern. Which of the following best explains the engineer's goal?

  1. To prevent accounts from being compromised
  2. To enable log correlation using machine learning
  3. To orchestrate additional reporting for the security operations center
  4. To prepare runbooks to automate future incident response

Question 95

During an audit at an organization, auditors find that developers are able to promote code to production. The auditors request a full review of all production changes. Which of the following should the organization implement to prevent a full review in the future?

  1. Branch protection
  2. Centralized code repositories
  3. Interactive application security testing
  4. Change control board
