  4. configure policies
  5. author security policies
  6. view data stored in the key/value store

After creating a dynamic credential on a database, the DBA accidentally deletes the credentials on the database itself. When attempting to remove the lease, Vault returns an error stating that the
credential cannot be found. What command can be run to coerce Vault to remove the secret?

  1. vault lease -renew
  2. vault lease revoke -force -prefix <lease_path>
  3. vault revoke -apply
  4. vault lease revoke -enforce

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The -force flag is meant for recovery when the secret in the target secrets engine was manually deleted.



What type of token does not have a TTL (time to live)?

  1. default tokens
  2. parent tokens
  3. user tokens
  4. root tokens
  5. expired tokens
  6. child tokens

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Non-root tokens are associated with a TTL, which determines how long a token is valid. Root tokens are not associated with a TTL, and therefore, do not expire. Root tokens are tokens that have the root policy attached to them. They are the only type of token within Vault that are not associated with a TTL, and therefore, do not expire.



An application is trying to use a secret in which the lease has expired. What can be done in order for the application to successfully request data from Vault?

  1. request a new secret and associated lease
  2. try the expired secret in hopes it hasn't been deleted yet
  3. request the TTL be extended for the secret
  4. perform a lease renewal

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

A lease must be renewed before it has expired. Once it has expired, it is permanently revoked and a new secret must be requested.

answer to this question "what administrative safeguards should be implemented to protect the collected data while in use by manasa and her product management team? " it should be (c) for the following reasons: this administrative safeguard involves controlling access to collected data by ensuring that only individuals who need the data for their job responsibilities have access to it. this helps minimize the risk of unauthorized access and potential misuse of sensitive information. while other options such as (a) documenting data flows and (b) conducting a privacy impact assessment (pia) are important steps in data protection, implementing a "need to know" access policy directly addresses the issue of protecting data while in use by limiting access to those who require it for legitimate purposes. (d) is not directly related to safeguarding data during use; it focuses on data transfers and location.

password lockout being the correct answer for question 37 does not make sense. it should be geofencing.

q. 289 - the correct answer should be b not d, since the question asks for the most secure way to provide access to a s3 bucket (a single one), and by principle of the least privilege you should not be giving access to all buckets.
