Free CompTIA SY0-701 Real Questions (page: 17)

An organization plans to expand its operations internationally and needs to keep data at the new location secure. The organization wants to use the most secure architecture model possible. Which of the following models offers the highest level of security?

  1. Cloud-based
  2. Peer-to-peer
  3. On-premises
  4. Hybrid

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

An on-premises architecture provides the highest level of control over data security, as the organization manages its own hardware, software, and network infrastructure directly. This setup enables the organization to implement strict access controls, customize security measures according to regulatory requirements, and avoid some of the risks associated with data transmission and storage in cloud environments, particularly for sensitive or proprietary information.



Which of the following is the most relevant reason a DPO would develop a data inventory?

  1. To manage data storage requirements better
  2. To determine the impact in the event of a breach
  3. To extend the length of time data can be retained
  4. To automate the reduction of duplicated data

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

A data inventory provides a comprehensive overview of what data the organization holds, where it is stored, and its sensitivity. This information is crucial for assessing the potential impact of a data breach, as it allows the DPO to identify which data would be affected and the associated risks. Additionally, it aids in compliance with data protection regulations by ensuring that sensitive data is adequately managed and protected.



Which of the following cryptographic solutions protects data at rest?

  1. Digital signatures
  2. Full disk encryption
  3. Private key
  4. Steganography

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Full disk encryption (FDE) secures data at rest by encrypting the entire storage drive, ensuring that data is protected when the system is powered off or if the drive is accessed without authorization. This approach is commonly used to protect sensitive data stored on devices like laptops, servers, and storage media.



Which of the following should an organization use to protect its environment from external attacks conducted by an unauthorized hacker?

  1. ACL
  2. IDS
  3. HIDS
  4. NIPS

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

A Network Intrusion Prevention System (NIPS) actively monitors network traffic and can detect and block malicious activities in real-time, helping to prevent external attacks. Unlike IDS, which only detects intrusions, NIPS can take immediate action to stop threats, making it a strong defensive measure against unauthorized external attacks.



Which of the following would enable a data center to remain operational through a multiday power outage?

  1. Generator
  2. Uninterruptible power supply
  3. Replication
  4. Parallel processing

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

A generator can provide continuous power for extended periods during a power outage, as long as it has sufficient fuel. Unlike an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), which is typically used to bridge short power interruptions, a generator is designed to sustain operations over longer durations, making it ideal for keeping a
data center functional during a multiday outage.



A company installed cameras and added signs to alert visitors that they are being recorded. Which of the following controls did the company implement? (Choose two.)

  1. Directive
  2. Deterrent
  3. Preventive
  4. Detective
  5. Corrective
  6. Technical

Answer(s): B,D

Explanation:

Option B is correct because deterrent controls aim to discourage security violations by signaling monitoring, which cameras and signs achieve. Option D is correct because detective controls identify and detect security incidents after they occur, which aligns with recording and alerting on surveillance. A) Directive is incorrect because directives guide behavior but aren’t the primary mechanism here; C) Preventive is incorrect since recording/signage doesn’t prevent the act, it detects or discourages; E) Corrective is incorrect as it addresses post-incident recovery; F) Technical is incorrect because the question focuses on administrative/management controls (signage and policies), not a technical control category.



Which of the following is the best way to securely store an encryption key for a data set in a manner that allows multiple entities to access the key when needed?

  1. Public key infrastructure
  2. Open public ledger
  3. Public key encryption
  4. Key escrow

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Key escrow involves storing the encryption key with a trusted third party or system that securely retains the key and grants access to authorized entities as needed. This approach ensures that multiple authorized parties can access the key in a controlled and secure manner, making it a reliable solution for shared access requirements.



For which of the following reasons would a systems administrator leverage a 3DES hash from an installer file that is posted on a vendor's website?

  1. To test the integrity of the file
  2. To validate the authenticity of the file
  3. To activate the license for the file
  4. To calculate the checksum of the file

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

A hash (such as one generated using 3DES) is used to verify that the file has not been altered or corrupted during download. By comparing the hash of the downloaded file with the one provided by the vendor, the administrator can confirm the file's integrity.

q252: dns poisoning is the correct answer, not locator redirection. beaconing is detected from a host. this indicates that the system has been infected with malware, which could be the source of local dns poisoning. location redirection works by either embedding the redirection in the original websites code or having a user click on a url that has an embedded redirect. since users at a different office are not getting redirected, it isnt an embedded redirection on the original website and since the user is manually typing in the url and not clicking a link, it isnt a modified link.
