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

A Zero Trust security strategy is defined by which of the primary approaches?

• IAM and security awareness training
• VPNs and IAM
• Network segmenting and access control
• Micro-segmenting and Multi-factor authentication

During the analysis, the threat intelligence team disclosed a possible threat which went unnoticed when an A .R.T.I.E. employee sent their friend a slide deck containing the personal information of a colleague. The exposed information included employee first and last names, date of birth and employee ID.What kind of attack occurred?

• Ransomware
• Data breach
• Advance Persistent Threat
• Supply chain attack

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.

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 must create a resilient security plan to address threats. To accomplish this, the threat intelligence team performed a thorough analysis of the A .R.T.I.E. threat landscape. The result was a list of vulnerabilities such as social engineering, zero-day exploits, ransomware, phishing emails, outsourced infrastructure, and insider threats.Using the information in the case study and the scenario for this question, which vulnerability type exposes the data and infrastructure of

• R.T.I.E .?
• Malicious insider
• Zero day exploit
• Ransomware
• Social engineering

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

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.

An external A .R.T.I.E. user requires access to sensitive resources and data.Which authentication technique should be best recommended to provide access to this business user?

• Two-factor
• Privileged Access Management
• Multifactor
• Single Sign-On

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

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.
