Question#1

What is a key benefit of Cortex XDR?

A. It acts as a safety net during an attack while patches are developed.

B. It secures internal network traffic against unknown threats.

C. It manages applications accessible on endpoints.

D. It reduces the need for network security.

Explanation:
Cortex XDR is a detection and response platform that natively integrates network, endpoint, and cloud data to stop sophisticated attacks. A key benefit of Cortex XDR is that it acts as a safety net during an attack while patches are developed. Cortex XDR uses machine learning and behavioral analytics to detect and validate threats, and automatically reveals the root cause of alerts to speed up investigations. Cortex XDR also enables flexible and rapid response actions to contain and remediate threats across the environment.

Question#2

In which situation would a dynamic routing protocol be the quickest way to configure routes on a router?

A. the network is large

B. the network is small

C. the network has low bandwidth requirements

D. the network needs backup routes

Explanation:
A static routing protocol requires that routes be created and updated manually on a router or other network device. If a static route is down, traffic can’t be automatically rerouted unless an alternate route has been configured. Also, if the route is congested, traffic can’t be automatically rerouted over the less congested alternate route. Static routing is practical only in very small networks or for very limited, special-case routing scenarios (for example, a destination that’s used as a backup route or is reachable only via a single router). However, static routing has low bandwidth requirements (routing information isn’t broadcast across the network) and some built-in security (users can route only to destinations that are specified in statically defined routes).

Question#3

What are two characteristics of an advanced persistent threat (APT)? (Choose two.)

A. Multiple attack vectors

B. Repeated pursuit of objective

C. Reduced interaction time

D. Tendency to isolate hosts

Explanation:
Multiple attack vectors C APTs often use various methods (phishing, malware, lateral movement) to infiltrate and maintain access to a target.
Repeated pursuit of objective C APTs are known for their persistent nature, involving continuous efforts over time to achieve their goals, such as data theft or surveillance.

Question#4

Which of the following is an AWS serverless service?

A. Beta

B. Kappa

C. Delta

D. Lambda

Explanation:
Examples of serverless environments include Amazon Lambda and Azure Functions. Many PaaS offerings, such as Pivotal Cloud Foundry, also are effectively serverless even if they have not historically been marketed as such. Although serverless may appear to lack the container-specific, cloud native attribute, containers are extensively used in the underlying implementations, even if those implementations are not exposed to end users directly.

Question#5

Which statement describes the process of application allow listing?

A. It allows only trusted files, applications, and processes to run.

B. It creates a set of specific applications that do not run on the system.

C. It encrypts application data to protect the system from external threats.

D. It allows safe use of applications by scanning files for malware.

Explanation:
Application allow listing is a security practice that permits only pre-approved (trusted) applications, files, and processes to run on a system. This approach helps prevent unauthorized or malicious software from executing, thereby reducing the attack surface.
