NEW QUESTION # 225
With the rapid emergence of cloud computing, very few regulations were in place that pertained to it specifically, and organizations often had to resort to using a collection of regulations that were not specific to cloud in order to drive audits and policies.
Which standard from the ISO/IEC was designed specifically for cloud computing?
- A. ISO/IEC 19889
- B. ISO/IEC 27001
- C. ISO/IEC 27001:2015
- D. ISO/IEC 27018

Explanation:
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
ISO/IEC 27018 was implemented to address the protection of personal and sensitive information within a cloud environment. ISO/IEC 27001 and its later 27001:2015 revision are both general-purpose data security standards. ISO/IEC 19889 is an erroneous answer.
NEW QUESTION # 226
Tokenization requires two distinct ______________.
Response:
- A. Encryption keys
- B. Databases
- C. Authentication factors
- D. Personnel
Answer: B
NEW QUESTION # 227
Without the extensive funds of a large corporation, a small-sized company could gain considerable and cost-effective services for which of the following concepts by moving to a cloud environment?
- A. Regulatory
- B. Testing
- C. Development
- D. Security
Answer: D
Explanation:
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
Cloud environments, regardless of the specific deployment model used, have extensive and robust security controls in place, especially in regard to physical and infrastructure security. A small company can leverage the extensive security controls and monitoring provided by a cloud provider, which they would unlikely ever be able to afford on their own. Moving to a cloud would not result in any gains for development and testing because these areas require the same rigor regardless of where deployment and hosting occur. Regulatory compliance in a cloud would not be a gain for an organization because it would likely result in additional oversight and auditing as well as require the organization to adapt to a new environment.
NEW QUESTION # 228
Which of the following is not a security concern related to archiving data for long-term storage?
Response:
- A. Underground depth of the storage facility
- B. Format of the data
- C. Long-term storage of the related cryptographic keys
- D. Media the data resides on
Answer: A
NEW QUESTION # 229
A localized incident or disaster can be addressed in a cost-effective manner by using which of the following?
- A. Strict adherence to applicable regulations
- B. UPS
- C. Generators
- D. Joint operating agreements
Answer: D
Explanation:
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
Joint operating agreements can provide nearby relocation sites so that a disruption limited to the organization's own facility and campus can be addressed at a different facility and campus. UPS and generators are not limited to serving needs for localized causes. Regulations do not promote cost savings and are not often the immediate concern during BC/DR activities.
NEW QUESTION # 230
Other than cost savings realized due to measured service, what is another facet of cloud computing that will typically save substantial costs in time and money for an organization in the event of a disaster?
- A. Broad network access
- B. Portability
- C. Interoperability
- D. Resource pooling
Answer: A
Explanation:
With a typical BCDR solution, an organization would need some number of staff to quickly travel to the location of the BCDR site to configure systems and applications for recovery. With a cloud environment, everything is done over broad network access, with no need (or even possibility) to travel to a remote site at any time.
NEW QUESTION # 231

NEW QUESTION # 232
What type of host is exposed to the public Internet for a specific reason and hardened to perform only that function for authorized users?
- A. Honeypot
- B. WAF
- C. Proxy
- D. Bastion
Answer: D
Explanation:
A bastion host is a server that is fully exposed to the public Internet, but is extremely hardened to prevent attacks and is usually dedicated for a specific application or usage; it is not something that will serve multiple purposes. This singular focus allows for much more stringent security hardening and monitoring.
NEW QUESTION # 233
When using an Infrastructure as a Service solution, what is a key benefit provided to the customer?
- A. Usage is metered and priced on the basis of units consumed.
- B. The ability to scale up infrastructure services based on projected usage.
- C. Increased energy and cooling system efficiencies.
- D. Cost of ownership is transferred.
Answer: A
NEW QUESTION # 234
Many different common threats exist against web-exposed services and applications. One attack involves attempting to leverage input fields to execute queries in a nested fashion that is unintended by the developers.
What type of attack is this?
- A. Cross-site request forgery
- B. Injection
- C. Missing function-level access control
- D. Cross-site scripting
Answer: B
Explanation:
An injection attack is where a malicious actor sends commands or other arbitrary data through input and data fields with the intent of having the application or system execute the code as part of its normal processing and queries. This can trick an application into exposing data that is not intended or authorized to be exposed, or it can potentially allow an attacker to gain insight into configurations or security controls.
Missing function-level access control exists where an application only checks for authorization during the initial login process and does not further validate with each function call. Cross-site request forgery occurs when an attack forces an authenticated user to send forged requests to an application running under their own access and credentials. Cross-site scripting occurs when an attacker is able to send untrusted data to a user's browser without going through validation processes.
NEW QUESTION # 235
Tokenization requires two distinct _________________ .
- A. Databases
- B. Authentication factors
- C. Personnel
- D. Encryption
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation
In order to implement tokenization, there will need to be two databases: the database containing the raw, original data, and the token database containing tokens that map to original data. Having two-factor authentication is nice, but certainly not required. Encryption keys are not necessary for tokenization.
Two-person integrity does not have anything to do with tokenization.

- A. RSL
- B. RTO
- C. RPO
- D. SRE
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
The recovery time objective (RTO) is a measure of the amount of time it would take to recover operations in the event of a disaster to the point where management's objectives are met for BCDR.
NEW QUESTION # 238
What is a standard configuration and policy set that is applied to systems and virtual machines called?
- A. Baseline
- B. Hardening
- C. Redline
- D. Standardization
Answer: A
Explanation:
The most common and efficient manner of securing operating systems is through the use of baselines. A baseline is a standardized and understood set of base configurations and settings.
When a new system is built or a new virtual machine is established, baselines will be applied to a new image to ensure the base configuration meets organizational policy and regulatory requirements.

What does dynamic application security testing (DAST) NOT entail that SAST does?
- A. Discovery
- B. Probing
- C. Knowledge of the system
- D. Scanning
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
Dynamic application security testing (DAST) is considered "black-box" testing and begins with no inside knowledge of the application or its configurations. Everything about it must be discovered during its testing.
As with most types of testing, dynamic application security testing (DAST) involves probing, scanning, and a discovery process for system information.
NEW QUESTION # 246
Because cloud providers will not give detailed information out about their infrastructures and practices to the general public, they will often use established auditing reports to ensure public trust, where the reputation of the auditors serves for assurance.
Which type of audit reports can be used for general public trust assurances?
- A. SOC 3
- B. SOC 2
- C. SOC 1
- D. SAS-70
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation
SOC Type 3 audit reports are very similar to SOC Type 2, with the exception that they are intended for general release and public audiences.SAS-70 audits have been deprecated. SOC Type 1 audit reports have a narrow scope and are intended for very limited release, whereas SOC Type 2 audit reports are intended for wider audiences but not general release.
NEW QUESTION # 247
Which kind of SSAE audit report is a cloud customer most likely to receive from a cloud provider?
- A. SOC 1 Type 2
- B. SOC 3
- C. SOC 1 Type 1
- D. SOC 2 Type 2
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation
The SOC 3 is the least detailed, so the provider is not concerned about revealing it. The SOC 1 Types 1 and 2 are about financial reporting, and not relevant. The SOC 2 Type 2 is much more detailed and will most likely be kept closely held by the provider.
