• Uninstalling unneeded applications • Ensuring all patches are installed • Ensuring sufficient processing power Which of the following is not a part of hardening the system? • Disabling all unused services • Uninstalling unneeded applications • Ensuring all patches are installed • Ensuring sufficient processing power
• Ans (Although a good idea, ensuring the server has sufficient
processing power is not a part of hardening the system as it does nothing to reduce the attack surface.)

Which technique is used to allocate relative access to the CPU among VMs? • Reservations • Limits • Shares • Time slots Which technique is used to allocate relative access to the CPU among VMs? • Reservations • Limits • Shares • Time slots Which RAID type provides no fault tolerance? • A. RAID 0 B. RAID 1 C. RAID 3 D. RAID 5 Which RAID type provides no fault tolerance? • • A. RAID 0 B. RAID 1 C. RAID 3 D. RAID 5
RAID 0 is also known as disk striping. This is RAID that doesn't provide fault tolerance. Data is written across multiple drives, so one drive can be reading or writing while the next drive's read/write head is moving. This makes for faster data access. However, if any one of the drives fails, all content is lost.

The tag signal can be read by any reader in range. • B. The tag signal can only go a few feet. • C. Multiple readers in an area can interfere with one another. • D. Multiple devices can interfere with one another when responding. Which of the following is not a drawback of using active RFID chips? • A. The tag signal can be read by any reader in range. • B. The tag signal can only go a few feet. • C. Multiple readers in an area can interfere with one another. • D. Multiple devices can interfere with one another when responding.
• Ans(The tags can be of two types: passive and active. Active tags have batteries whereas passive tags receive their energy from the reader when the reader interrogates the device. As you would expect, the passive tags are cheaper but have a range of only a few meters and the active tags are more expensive but can transmit up to a hundred meters.)

• A. Cameras • B. Security guards • C. Motion sensors • D. Intrusion prevention systems
• Ans(Security guards offer the most flexibility in reacting to whatever
occurs. Guards can use discriminating judgment based on the situation, which automated systems cannot do. This makes guards an excellent addition to the layers of security you should be trying to create.) Which of the following statements is false with respect to safes? • A. All safes are fireproof. • B. United Laboratories (UL) assigns ratings to safes that you can use to assess the suitability of the safe. • C. Those that are fire resistant will protect a document from being destroyed. • D. When considering a safe, you should focus on two items: the ease with which the safe can be compromised and the ability of the safe to withstand a fire.

The web server and the client must have a certificate. • D. Neither the web server nor the client must have a certificate.
• Ans(SSL is related to a PKI in that a certificate is required on the
server end and optionally can be used on the client end of an SSL communication.) You have two devices that are connected to the same switch with IP addresses in the same network. After placing the two devices in separate VLANs, they can no longer ping one another. At what layer of the OSI model are the VLANs providing separation?
• A. Network • B. Data link • C. Session • D. Transport You have two devices that are connected to the same switch with IP addresses in the same network. After placing the two devices in separate VLANs, they can no longer ping one another. At what layer of the OSI model are the VLANs providing separation?
• A. Network • B. Data link • C. Session • D. Transport
• Ans(Devices in different VLANs usually have IP addresses in different IP
subnets. However, even if they have IP addresses in the same subnet, communication cannot occur without routing—if they reside in different VLANs—because VLANs separate devices at Layer 2, or the Data Link layer, of the OSI model.)

Encrypted packets cannot be analyzed. • D. An HIDS monitors all traffic that goes through it looking for signs of attack on any machine in the network.
• Ans (When discussing network security, an endpoint is any point of entry into the network. A typical example of an endpoint is a laptop connected to the network with a remote access connection. Therefore, the process of providing endpoint security is the process of ensuring that every endpoint (including servers) has been secured in the same way in which you would secure the network gateway.)

Sally’s public key
• Ans(To provide encryption, the data is encrypted with the receiver’s
public key, which results in cipher text that only his private key can decrypt.) You have two devices that are connected to the same switch with IP addresses in the same network.
