In preparation for the holiday season, a company redesigned the system that manages retail sales and moved it to a cloud service provider. The new infrastructure did not meet the company's availability requirements. During a postmortem analysis, the following issue were highlighted:
1. International users reported latency when images on the web page were initially loading.
2. During times of report processing, users reported issues with inventory when attempting to place order.
3. Despite the fact that ten new API servers were added, the load across servers was heavy at peak times.
Which of the following infrastructure design changes would be BEST for the organization to implement to avoid these issues in the future Serve static content via distributed CDNs, create a read replica of the central database and pull reports from there, and auto-scale APIservers based on performance. Increase the bandwidth for the server that delivers images, use a CDN, change the database to a non-relational database, and split the ten API servers across two load balancers. Serve images from an object storage bucket with infrequent read times, replicate the database across different regions, and dynamically create API servers based on load. Serve static-content object storage across different regions, increase the instance size on the managed relational database, and distribute the ten API servers across multiple regions.
During a remodel, a company computer equipment was moved to a secure storage room with cameras positioned on both sides of the door.

Require both security and management to open the door Require department managers to review denied-access requests Issue new entry badges on a weekly basis.
A company is preparing to deploy a global service. Which of the following must the company do to ensure GDPR compliance? (Choose 2) Inform users regarding what data is stored.

Which of the following should be modified to prevent the issue from reoccurring Recovery point objective Recovery time objective Mission-essential functions Recovery service level.
A technician is reviewing the logs and notices a large number of files were transferred to remote sites over the course of three months. This activity then stopped. The files were transferred via TLS-protected HTTP sessions from systems that do not send traffic to those sites. The technician will define this threat as a decrypting RSA using obsolete and weakened encryption attack. a zero-day attack. an advanced persistent threat. an on-path attack.

A small company recently developed prototype technology for a military program. The company's security engineer is concerned about potential theft of the newly developed, proprietary information.Which of the following should the security engineer do to BEST manage the threats proactively Join an information-sharing community that is relevant to the company. Leverage the MITRE ATT&CK framework to map the TTP. Use OSINT techniques to evaluate and analyze the threats. Update security awareness training to address new threats, such as best practices for data security.
A security engineer has been asked to close all non-secure connections from the corporate network. The engineer is attempting to understand why the corporate UTM will not allow users to download email via IMAPS. The engineer formulates a theory and begins testing by creating the firewall ID 58, and users are able to download emails correctly by using IMAP instead. The network comprises three VLAN
-Vlan 30 Guest Network 192.168.20.0/25
-Vlan 20 Corporate user network 192.168.0.0/28
-Vlan110 Corporate server network 192.168.0.16/29
The security engineer looks at the UTM firewall rules and finds the following
Which of the following should the security engineer do to ensure IMAPS functions properly on the corporate user network Contact the email service provider and ask if the company IP is blocked. Confirm the email server certificate is installed on the corporate computers. Make sure the UTM certificate is imported on the corporate computers. Create an IMAPS firewall rule to ensure email is allowed.
