Free Dell Security Foundations Achievement Exam D-SF-A-24 Exam Practice Test

During the analysis, the threat intelligence team disclosed that attackers not only encrypted files, but also attempted to encrypt backups and shared, networked, and cloud drives.Which type of ransomware is used for this attack?

• Cryptolocker
• Double extortion
• Crypto
• Locker

The cybersecurity team performed a quantitative risk analysis on A .R.T.I.E.'s IT systems during the risk management process.What is the focus of a quantitative risk analysis?

• Rank and handle risk to use time and resources more wisely.
• Evaluators discretion for resources.
• Knowledge and experience to determine risk likelihood.
• Objective and mathematical models to provide risk acumens.

An A .R.T.I.E. employee received an email with an invoice that looks official for $200 for a one-year subscription. It clearly states: "Please do not reply to this email," but provides a Help and Contact button along with a phone number.What is the type of risk if the employee clicks the Help and Contact button?

• People
• Technology
• Operational
• Strategic

Based on the information in the case study, which security team should be the most suitable to perform root cause analysis of the attack and present the proposal to solve the challenges faced by the A .R.T.I.E. organization?

• Identity and Assess Management
• Threat intelligence
• Ethical hackers
• Business advisory

To optimize network performance and reliability, low latency network path for customer traffic,

• R.T.I.E created a modern edge solution. The edge solution helped the organization to analyze and process diverse data and identify related business opportunities. Edge computing also helped them to create and distribute content and determine how the users consume it. But as compute and data creation becomes more decentralized and distributed, A .R.T.I.E. was exposed to various risks and security challenges inevitably became more complex. Unlike the cloud in a data center, it is physically impossible to wall off the edge.
• Which type of edge security risk A .R.T.I.E. is primarily exposed?
• Data risk
• Internet of Things risk
• Protection risk
• Hardware risk

In the cloud, there are numerous configuration options for the services provided. If not properly set, these configurations can leave the environment in an unsecure state where an attacker can read andmodify the transmitted data packets and send their own requests to the client.Which types of attack enable an attacker to read and modify the transmitted data packets and send their own requests to the client?

• Data loss
• Shared technology
• TCP hijacking
• Dumpster diving

A R.T.I.E.'s business is forecast to grow tremendously in the next year, the organization will not only need to hire new employees but also requires contracting with third-party vendors to continue seamless operations. A .R.T.I.E. uses a VPN to support its employees on the corporate network, but the organization is facing a security challenge in supporting the third-party business vendors.To better meet A .R.T.I.E.'s security needs, the cybersecurity team suggested adopting a Zero Trust architecture (ZTA). The main aim was to move defenses from static, network-based perimeters to focus on users, assets, and resources. Zero Trust continuously ensures that a user is authentic and the request for resources is also valid. ZTA also helps to secure the attack surface while supporting vendor access.What is the main challenge that ZTA addresses?

• Authorization of A .R.T.I.E. employees.
• Malware attacks.
• Access to the corporate network for third-party vendors.
• Proactive defense in-depth strategy.

To minimize the cost and damage of ransomware attacks the cybersecurity team provided static analysis of files in an environment and compare a ransomware sample hash to known data.Which detection mechanism is used to detect data theft techniques to access valuable information and hold ransom?

• Signature based
• Behavior based
• Deception based

During analysis, the Dell Services team found outdated applications and operating systems with missing security patches. To avert potential cyberattacks, Dell recommends application and operating system hardening measures.Why is security hardening important for

• R.T.I.E .?
• Enhance operational cost.
• Decrease attack surface.
• Enhance productivity.
• Remove redundancy.

The security team recommends the use of User Entity and Behavior Analytics (UEBA) in order to monitor and detect unusual traffic patterns, unauthorized data access, and malicious activity of A.R.T.I.E. The monitored entities include A .R.T.I.E. processes, applications, and network devices Besides the use of UEBA, the security team suggests a customized and thorough implementation plan for the organization.What are the key attributes that define UEBA?

• User analytics, threat detection, and data.
• User analytics, encryption, and data.
• Encryption, automation, and data.
• Automation, user analytics, and data.
