The IT security team is required to come up with priorities for the program. Which of the following is the best priority based on common attack frameworks? Reduce the administrator and privileged access accounts. Employ a network-based IDS. Conduct thorough incident response. Enable SSO to enterprise applications. During an extended holiday break, a company suffered a security incident. This information was properly relayed to appropriate personnel in a timely manner and the server was up to date and configured with appropriate auditing and logging. The Chief Information Security Officer wants to find out precisely what happened. Which of the following actions should the analyst take first? Clone the virtual server for forensic analysis. Log on to the affected server and begin analysis of the logs. Restore from the last-known-good backup to confirm there was no loss of connectivity. Shut down the affected server immediately. A systems administrator is reviewing after-hours traffic flows from data-center servers and sees regular outgoing HTTPS connections from one of the servers to a public IP address.

Which of the following is the most likely explanation? C2 beaconing activity Data exfiltration Anomalous activity on unexpected ports Network host IP address scanning A rogue network device. New employees in an organization have been consistently plugging in personal webcams despite the company policy prohibiting use of personal devices. The SOC manager discovers that new employees are not aware of the company policy.

Which of the following would be the best threat intelligence source to learn about this new campaign? Information sharing organization Blogs/forums Cybersecurity incident response team Deep/Dark Web. An incident response team finished responding to a significant security incident. The management team has asked the lead analyst to provide an after-action report that includes lessons learned. Which of the following is the most likely reason to include lessons learned? To satisfy regulatory requirements for incident reporting. To hold other departments accountable. To identify areas of improvement in the incident response process. To highlight the notable practices of the organization's incident response team. A vulnerability management team cannot patch all vulnerabilities found during their weekly scans. The team patches the most urgent vulnerabilities using the third-party scoring system described below (Picture). Additionally, the vulnerability management team feels that the metrics Smear and Channing are less important than the others, so these will be lower in priority. Which of the following vulnerabilities should be patched first, given the above third-party scoring system? InLoud: Cobain: Yes Grohl: No Novo: Yes Smear: Yes Channing: No TSpirit: Cobain: Yes Grohl: Yes Novo: Yes Smear: No Channing: No ENameless: Cobain: Yes Grohl: No Novo: Yes Smear: No Channing: No PBleach: Cobain: Yes Grohl: No Novo: No Smear: No Channing: Yes. A user downloads software that contains malware onto a computer that eventually infects numerous other systems. Which of the following has the user become? Hacktivist Advanced persistent threat Insider threat Script kiddie. An organization has activated the CSIRT. A security analyst believes a single virtual server was compromised and immediately isolated from the network. Which of the following should the CSIRT conduct next? Take a snapshot of the compromised server and verify its integrity. Restore the affected server to remove any malware. Contact the appropriate government agency to investigate. Research the malware strain to perform attribution. During an incident, an analyst needs to acquire evidence for later investigation. Which of the following must be collected first in a computer system, related to its volatility level? Disk contents Backup data Running processes Temporary files. A security analyst is trying to identify possible network addresses from different source networks belonging to the same company and region. Which of the following shell script functions could help achieve the goal? function w() { a=$(ping -c 1 $1 | awk-F ”/” ’END{print $1}’) && echo “$1 | $a” } function x() { b=traceroute -m 40 $1 | awk ’END{print $1}’) && echo “$1 | $b” } function y() { dig $(dig -x $1 | grep PTR | tail -n 1 | awk -F ”.in-addr” ’{print $1}’).origin.asn.cymru.com TXT +short } function z() { c=$(geoiplookup$1) && echo “$1 | $c” }. A security analyst is writing a shell script to identify IP addresses from the same country. Which of the following functions would help the analyst achieve the objective? function w() { info=$(ping -c 1 $1 | awk -F “/” ‘END{print $1}’) && echo “$1 | $info” } function x() { info=$(geoiplookup $1) && echo “$1 | $info” } function y() { info=$(dig -x $1 | grep PTR | tail -n 1 ) && echo “$1 | $info” } function z() { info=$(traceroute -m 40 $1 | awk ‘END{print $1}’) && echo “$1 | $info” }. A security analyst obtained the following table of results from a recent vulnerability assessment that was conducted against a single web server in the environment (Picture). Which of the following should be completed first to remediate the findings? Ask the web development team to update the page contents. Add the IP address to allow listing for control panel access. Purchase an appropriate certificate from a trusted root CA. Perform proper sanitization on all fields. While reviewing web server logs, an analyst notices several entries with the same time stamps, but all contain odd characters in the request line. Which of the following steps should be taken next?
