122 Isaac is developing a mobile application and is following the OWASP Mobile Application Security Checklist. Which of the following is a practice he should not follow?The application will use symmetric cryptography with hard-coded keys as its sole method of encryption.Data for the application will be encoded on the network using TLS any time data is sent or received.The application will use the Secure Enclave on iOS devices to store cryptographic keys.The application invalidates sessions after a predetermined period of inactivity and session tokens expire.

124 Patricia wants to protect updated firmware for her organization's proprietary hardware when it is installed and is concerned about third parties capturing the information as it is transferred between the host system and the hardware device. What type of solution should she use to protect the data in transit if the device is a PCIe internal card?Bus encryptionCPU encryptionFull-disk encryptionDRM
125 Piper wants to delete the contents of a self-encrypting drive (SED). What is the fastest way to securely do so?Use a full-drive wipe following DoD standards.Delete the encryption key for the drive.Use a degausser.Format the drive.
126 What type of module is required to enable Secure Boot and remote attestation?A TPM moduleA HSMA GPMAn MX module
127 Although both Secure Boot and Measured Boot processes rely on a chain of trust, only one validates the objects in the chain. Which technology does this and what process does it follow?A Secured Boot chain validates the boot objects using private keys to check against public keys already in the BIOS.A Measured Boot chain computes the hash of the next object in the chain and compares it to the hash of the previous object.A Secured Boot chain computes the hash of the next object in the chain and compares it to the hash of the previous object.A Measured Boot chain validates the boot objects using private keys to check against public keys already in the BIOS.
128 What type of operation occurs in a way that prevents another processor or I/O device from reading or writing to a memory location that is in use by the operation until the operation is complete?A complete operationA fractional operationAtomic executionPerpendicular execution
129 Adil is attempting to boot a system that uses UEFI and has Secure Boot enabled. During the boot process, the system will not start because of a recognized key error. What has occurred?The user has not entered their passphrase.The drive token needs updated.A USB token is not plugged in.The operating system may not be secure.
130 Support for AES, 3DES, ECC, and SHA-256 are all examples of what?Encryption algorithmsHashing algorithmsProcessor security extensionsBus encryption modules
131 Bernie sets up a VPC for his organization and connects to it through a VPN. What has he created and where?A private segment of a public cloudA private segment of a local virtualization environmentA public segment of a private cloudA public segment of a local virtualization environment
132 What types of attacks can API keys help prevent when used to limit access to a REST-based service?Brute-force attacksTime-of-access/time-of-use attacksMan-in-the-middle attacksDenial-of-service attacks
133 Which of the following is not a benefit of physical segmentation?Easier visibility into trafficImproved network securityReduced costIncreased performanceUse the following diagram to answer the next three questions.
134 Scott has designed a redundant infrastructure, but his design still has single points of failure. Which of the single points of failure is most likely to cause an organizationwide Internet outage?Point APoint CPoint EPoint F
135 After identifying the single point of failure for his connectivity, Scott wants to fix the issue. What would be the best solution for the issue he identified?A second connection from the same ISP on the same fiber pathA second connection from a different ISP on the same fiber pathA second connection from the same ISP on a different fiber pathA second connection from a different ISP on a different fiber path
136 Scott has been asked to review his infrastructure for any other critical points of failure. If point E is an edge router and individual workstations are not considered mission critical, what issue should he identify?Point DPoint EPoint FNone of the above
137 Which of the following options is most effective in preventing known password attacks against a web application?Account lockoutsPassword complexity settingsCAPTCHAsMultifactor authentication
138 Ben adds a unique, randomly generated string to each password before it is hashed as part of his web application's password storage process. What is this process called?MashingHashingSaltingPeppering
