An analyst wants to ensure that users only leverage web-based software that has been pre-approved by the organization. Which of the following should be deployed? Blocklisting Allowlisting Graylisting Webhooks. During a cybersecurity incident, one of the web servers at the perimeter network was affected by ransomware. Which of the following actions should be performed immediately? Shut down the server. Reimage the server. Quarantine the server. Update the OS to the latest version. An organization recently changed its BC and DR plans. Which of the following would best allow for the incident response team to test the changes without any impact on the business? Perform a tabletop drill based on previously identified incident scenarios. Simulate an incident by shutting down power to the primary data center. Migrate active workloads from the primary data center to the secondary location. Compare the current plan to lessons learned from previous incidents. Security analysts review logs on multiple servers on a daily basis. Which of the following implementations will give the best central visibility into the events occurring throughout the corporate environment without logging in to the servers individually? Deploy a database to aggregate the logging. Configure the servers to forward logs to a SIEM. Share the log directory on each server to allow local access. Automate the emailing of logs to the analysts. Following a recent security incident, the Chief Information Security Officer is concerned with improving visibility and reporting of malicious actors in the environment. The goal is to reduce the time to prevent lateral movement and potential data exfiltration. Which of the following techniques will best achieve the improvement? Mean time to detect Mean time to respond Mean time to remediate Service-level agreement uptime. After identifying a threat, a company has decided to implement a patch management program to remediate vulnerabilities. Which of the following risk management principles is the company exercising? Transfer Accept Mitigate Avoid. A security analyst discovers an ongoing ransomware attack while investigating a phishing email. The analyst downloads a copy of the file from the email and isolates the affected workstation from the network. Which of the following activities should the analyst perform next? Wipe the computer and reinstall software. Shut down the email server and quarantine it from the network. Acquire a bit-level image of the affected workstation. Search for other mail users who have received the same file. The security analyst received the monthly vulnerability report. The following findings were included in the report: • Five of the systems only required a reboot to finalize the patch application • Two of the servers are running outdated operating systems and cannot be patched The analyst determines that the only way to ensure these servers cannot be compromised is to isolate them. Which of the following approaches will best minimize the risk of the outdated servers being compromised? Compensating Controls Due Diligence Maintenance Windows Passive Discover. The vulnerability analyst reviews threat intelligence regarding emerging vulnerabilities affecting workstations that are used within the company (Picture). Which of the following vulnerabilities should the analyst be most concerned about, knowing that end users frequently click on malicious links sent via email? Vulnerability A Vulnerability B Vulnerability S Vulnerability D. An incident response analyst is taking over an investigation from another analyst. The investigation has been going on for the past few days. Which of the following steps is most important during the transition between the two analysts? Identify and discuss the lessons learned with the prior analyst. Accept all findings and continue to investigate the next item target. Review the steps that the previous analyst followed. Validate the root cause from the prior analyst. A company recently removed administrator rights from all of its end-user workstations. An analyst uses CVSSv3.1 exploitability metrics to prioritize the vulnerabilities for the workstations and produces the following information (Picture). Which of the following vulnerabilities should be prioritized for remediation? nessie.explosion vote.4p sweet.bike great.skills. A recent penetration test discovered that several employees were enticed to assist attackers by visiting specific websites and running downloaded files when prompted by phone calls. Which of the following would best address this issue? Increasing training and awareness for all staff. Ensuring that malicious websites cannot be visited. Blocking all scripts downloaded from the internet. Disabling all staff member’s ability to run downloaded applications. A security analyst at a company is reviewing an alert from the file integrity monitoring indicating a mismatch in the login. html file hash. After comparing the code with the previous version of the page source code, the analyst found the following code snippet added (Picture). Which of the following best describes the activity the analyst has observed? Obfuscated Links Exfiltration Unauthorized Changes Beaconing. A security administrator has been notified by the IT operations department that some vulnerability reports contain an incomplete list of findings. Which of the following methods should be used to resolve this issue? Credentialed Scan External Scan Differential Scan Network Scan. An organization enabled a SIEM rule to send an alert to a security analyst distribution list when ten failed logins occur within one minute. However, the control was unable to detect an attack with nine failed logins. Which of the following best represents what occurred? False Positive True Negative False Negative True Positive. A cybersecurity analyst is tasked with scanning a web application to understand where the scan will go and whether there are URIs that should be denied access prior to more in-depth scanning. Which of following best fits the type of scanning activity requested? Uncredentialed scan Discovery scan Vulnerability scan Credentialed scan. Which of the following best describes the process of requiring remediation of a known threat within a given time frame? SLA MOU Best-effort patching Organizational governance. Which of the following risk management principles is accomplished by purchasing cyber insurance? Accept Avoid Mitigate Transfer. A recent audit of the vulnerability management program outlined the finding for increased awareness of secure coding practices. Which of the following would be best to address the finding? Establish quarterly SDLC training on the top vulnerabilities for developers. Conduct a yearly inspection of the code repositories and provide the report to management. Hire an external penetration test of the network. Deploy more vulnerability scanners for increased coverage. An organization has deployed a cloud-based storage system for shared data that is in phase two of the data life cycle. Which of the following controls should the security team ensure are addressed? (Choose two.) Data Classification Data Destruction Data Loss Prevention Encryption Backups Access Controls. An analyst is conducting routine vulnerability assessments on the company infrastructure. When performing these scans, a business-critical server crashes, and the cause is traced back to the vulnerability scanner. Which of the following is the cause of this issue? The scanner is running without an agent installed. The scanner is running in active mode. The scanner is segmented improperly. The scanner is configured with a scanning window. An organization's threat intelligence team notes a recent trend in adversary privilege escalation procedures. Multiple threat groups have been observed utilizing native Windows tools to bypass system controls and execute commands with privileged credentials. Which of the following controls would be most effective to reduce the rate of success of such attempts? Set user account control protection to the most restrictive level on all devices. Implement MFA requirements for all internal resources. Harden systems by disabling or removing unnecessary services. Implement controls to block execution of untrusted applications. A new zero-day vulnerability was released. A security analyst is prioritizing which systems should receive deployment of compensating controls deployment first. The systems have been grouped into the categories shown below (Picture). Which of the following groups should be prioritized for compensating controls? Group A Group B Group C Group D. A Chief Information Security Officer wants to map all the attack vectors that the company faces each day. Which of the following recommendations should the company align their security controls around? OSSTMM Diamond Model of Intrusion Analysis OWASP MITRE ATT&CK.
