ARCHITECTURE AND ENGINEERING OA EXAM UPDATE
An IT security team has been notified that external contractors are using their
personal laptops to gain access to the corporate network. The team needs to
recommend a solution that will prevent unapproved devices from accessing the
network.
Implementing port security
The security team recently enabled public access to a web application hosted on a
server inside the corporate network. The developers of the application report that the
server has received several structured query language (SQL) injection attacks in the
past several days. The team needs to deploy a solution that will block the SQL
injection attacks.
Web application firewall (WAF)
The chief technology officer for a small publishing company has been tasked with
improving the company's security posture. As part of a network upgrade, the
, company has decided to implement intrusion detection, spam filtering, content
filtering, and antivirus controls. The project needs to be completed using the least
amount of infrastructure while meeting all requirements.
Deploying a unified threat management (UTM) appliance
The security team plans to deploy an intrusion detection system (IDS) solution to
alert engineers about inbound threats. The team already has a database of signatures
that they want the IDS solution to validate.
Signature-based detection
An IT organization had a security breach after deploying an update to its production
web servers. The application currently goes through a manual update process a few
times per year. The security team needs to recommend a failback option for future
deployments.
Implementing versioning
A software development team is working on a new mobile application that will be
used by customers. The security team must ensure that builds of the application will
be trusted by a variety of mobile devices.
Code signing
An IT organization recently suffered a data leak incident. Management has asked the
security team to implement a print blocking mechanism for all documents stored on a
corporate file share.
Digital rights management (DRM)
A security team has been tasked with performing regular vulnerability scans for a
cloud-based infrastructure.
