determined it was using 802.11g. The technician's recommendation is for the customer
to upgrade to 802.11ac. Which is the best reason to upgrade? - ANSWER-Improved
Performance
A technician is tasked to prepare a conference room so that at least 20 guests will be
able to wirelessly connect laptop computers to the company network. Which of the
following network devices would be the best choice for this connectivity? - ANSWER-
Access Point
Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) - ANSWER-A statement that describes what users can
and cannot do on the various system components.
Accounting - Controlling Access - ANSWER-Accounting keeps track of what users do,
including what they access, the amount of time they access resources, and any
changes made. For example, a bank keeps track of each customer account. An audit of
that system can reveal the time and amount of all transactions and the employee or
system that executed the transactions. Cybersecurity accounting services work the
same way. The system tracks each data transaction and provides auditing results.
After setting up an Internet connection, you cannot connect to Internet websites, just
company intranet sites. What is most likely the problem? - ANSWER-Proxy Settings
, Assigning a unique letter (such as N:) to a shared drive is called ____ the drive. -
ANSWER-Mapping
Authentication - Controlling Access - ANSWER-Authentication verifies the identity of a
user to prevent unauthorized access. Users prove their identity with a username or ID.
In addition, users need to verify their identity by providing one of the following:
-Something they know (such as a password)
-Something they have (such as a token or card)
-Something they are (such a fingerprint)
Authorization - Controlling Access - ANSWER-Authorization services determine which
resources users can access, along with the operations that users can perform, as
shown in Figure 2. Some systems accomplish this by using an access control list, or an
ACL. Authorization can also control when a user has access to a specific resource. For
example, employees may have access to a sales database during work hours, but the
system locks them out after hours.
Browser - ANSWER-A software application that accesses web applications and
websites.
Buffering - ANSWER-The pre-loading of data from a stream into memory to help avoid
interruptions while waiting for data that is received in bursts.
Clickable text or images that take you to different sites on the World Wide Web are
called ____. - ANSWER-Hyperlinks
Cloud Computing - ANSWER-The use of remote services hosted on the internet to
store, manage, and process data.
Cloud Storage - ANSWER-A cloud computing service that remotely maintains,
manages, and backs up data and makes that data available to users over a network.
Data transmission involves sending information from one device to another. There are
numerous methods to transmit information between devices including: - ANSWER-
Sneaker net - uses removable media to physically move data from one computer to
another
Wired networks - uses cables to transmit data
Wireless networks - uses radio waves to transmit data
DNS - ANSWER-Matches unique IP addresses with easy-to-read URLs
